+3
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission references a legitimate cybersecurity entity (VMware Carbon Black) but contains critical data integrity issues indicative of a spam or test entry. The category is incorrectly listed as 'Apparel & Fashion', the description is empty, and the traction claims ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and factually incorrect for the brand. The submission lacks the necessary evidence to be evaluated as a serious technology project.
