Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission addresses a valid real-world need in higher education (identifying at-risk students), but is severely undermined by low-quality, exaggerated responses. Claims such as 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people have used my product' lack credibility and verifiable evidence. Technical details are absent, listing 'Internet' instead of an actual stack, placing this securely in the minimal traction category with a heavily discounted score.
