Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project 'UCD English Language Academy' corresponds to a real past entity (University College Dublin's language school), but the submission explicitly states it is 'Closed as of March 2025', rendering its current real-world utility null. Additionally, the submission contains blatantly false and unprofessional claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), which act as significant red flags. The submitter appears to be using a student ID email for a low-quality or test submission. No verifiable evidence of current traction or technology was provided.
