+56.1
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Zenstad addresses a relevant niche in AI/ML education but suffers from severe red flags regarding verifiable traction and reach. Claims asserting that 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people have used my product' are unrealistic and entirely unsupported. Significant omissions in active users, realistic revenue figures, and technical stack details result in a very low usefulness score.
