Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project addresses a genuinely relevant market (AI music assistance), but the submission contains severe red flags. Claims of audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are unverifiable and highly exaggerated. Technical details are extremely vague ('Software Development'), and the overall response quality is unprofessional. As a result, the project receives a low score reflective of minimal verifiable traction and poor evidence.
