Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Virtual TAS appears to be a legitimate initiative (associated with Enzen/42-24) to create a Digital Twin of Tasmania, indicating high real-world utility for government and infrastructure planning. However, the specific project submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing invalid contact details, vague technical descriptions ('business-development'), and hyperbolic, unverifiable traction claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the strong potential of the underlying concept and market timing, severely discounted by the lack of credible evidence and professional detail in the submission.
