Proof of Usefulness Score

While YesPlz AI appears to be a legitimate B2B solution for eCommerce visual search, the submission itself is critically flawed. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' for audience reach are unsupported exaggerations that damage credibility. The project addresses a real utility in fashion retail, but the lack of verifiable metrics, revenue data, or specific traction evidence in the input results in a low score consistent with the 'minimal verified traction' bracket.
