Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents a small IT consulting firm with relevant market timing for AI, ML, and data analytics. However, the submission suffers from highly exaggerated and vague claims, such as targeting 'everyone' and stating 'most people have used my product'. With a team size of 6 and poorly articulated metrics, the lack of verifiable traction and poor response quality severely limit the score.
