Proof of Usefulness Score

Watercooler AI (watercooler.ai) is a verifiable B2B HRTech company based in Tel Aviv that uses AI/network analysis to predict employee burnout and resignation. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing objectively false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone') and lacking any concrete metrics. While the technology (analyzing digital footprints like Slack/Email metadata) is relevant and the market timing is good, the complete absence of verifiable traction data in the submission, combined with the small team size (4) and hyperbolic claims, results in a low score. The project exists, but the 'Proof' provided is negligible.
