Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission presents a severe disconnect between the professional nature of the associated domain (tulpa.ai, a UK-based B2B AI company) and the quality of the input data. The claim that "most people have used my product" is demonstrably false for an early-stage, unfunded startup with <50 employees. Additionally, the revenue field cites a "marketcap: 50000," which suggests either a confusion with a low-liquidity crypto token of the same name or a nonsensically low valuation for a team of 30 scientists. While the underlying technology (cybersecurity AI agents) has market potential, the submission's lack of seriousness and factual inaccuracies result in a minimal score.
