Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The submission for Trova.io describes an employee engagement platform but lacks verifiable data. The claim 'most people have used my product' is hyperbolic and undermines credibility, resulting in a low traction score. While the problem space (workplace connection) is valid, the submission provides no concrete evidence of reach, revenue, or technical implementation details. The broad audience definition ('everyone') contradicts the B2B nature of the product.
