Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission outlines a professional development organization for youth in Africa, addressing a relevant problem. However, the project suffers from a critical lack of verifiable evidence. The provided website appears inactive or unindexed, and the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is hyperbolic and demonstrably false given the lack of public footprint. The submission lacks specific technical details or metrics, resulting in a score reflecting a low-effort or conceptual-stage entry without proof of execution.
