Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

ZettaCap targets the intersection of big data and investing but provides extremely vague and exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone'). Without concrete evidence of user traction, technical depth, or realistic metrics, the project falls into the minimal traction category.
