Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a valid B2B financial machine learning use case but severely undermines its credibility with exaggerated, highly implausible claims regarding traction and audience reach ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'). The 'all time marketcap' metric is anomalous for standard monthly revenue. As a result, quality multipliers are heavily penalized for vague and unsupported claims, leading to a minimal overall score.
