Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

XYZ Interactive Technologies has a verifiable history of powering successful consumer products (notably WowWee's MiP robot) with its GestureSense® technology. However, the project appears to be a legacy hardware IP provider rather than a high-growth active platform. The submission relies on hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and provides a confusing financial figure ('marketcap: 2500000', likely $2.5M), suggesting a very small valuation for a 20-year-old company. While the technology has proven real-world utility in the toy/IoT sector, the submission's lack of current traction data and precise metrics significantly lowers the score.
