Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission suffers from critical inconsistencies and hyperbolic claims that severely undermine credibility. While the mentioned founder (Dr. Prakash) and previous venture (Enerzi) appear to be real entities in North Karnataka, the project submission itself displays multiple red flags: the Project Name 'GoldenStone' conflicts with the Description 'Vigyan Manthan Foundation'; the audience is listed as 'everyone'; and the traction claim 'most people have used my product' is objectively false. Without verifiable data or a coherent project scope, the Proof of Usefulness is negligible.
