Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

TrustLab addresses a relevant problem in financial inclusion, but the submission contains severe red flags. Subjective and unrealistic claims such as 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people have used my product' for traction are highly suspicious and completely unverifiable. Without specific data on active users or a credible track record, the project falls into the 'No verifiable traction or red flags' category, resulting in a negative overall score.
