Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission features severe red flags, including demonstrably false claims of reaching 'everyone', highly improbable usage statistics ('most people have used my product'), and bizarre financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000') for a traditional 6-person B2B engineering firm. While the sector itself (automotive CAE and passive safety) has high utility, the spam-like responses and completely unverifiable traction severely penalize the evaluation, landing the score below zero.
