Proof of Usefulness Score

Lab Mode

The submission presents severe red flags, including contradictory claims (listing 'Civil Engineering' for a fusion energy diagnostic product), highly implausible traction ('most people have used my product' for a highly specialized scientific tool), and nonsensical financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000' instead of monthly revenue). Due to the lack of verifiable evidence and dubious statements, the project receives a negative score, falling well below the baseline for minimal traction.
