Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Virtually is a legitimate Y Combinator-backed (S20) platform that automates backend operations for online schools, confirming real-world utility. However, the submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsense data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying technology and problem-solution fit are sound, the discrepancy between the submitted 'audience reach' and the actual niche market, combined with the lack of verifiable traction evidence in the submission, heavily impacts the score. The project is evaluated as a promising small business handicapped by a poor submission.
