Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission for Zolnoi describes a valid B2B use case (AI for manufacturing energy efficiency) but is severely undermined by low-quality, hyperbolic, and unverifiable responses. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' for a niche industrial tool are demonstrably false red flags. While the domain is relevant (Industry 4.0), the lack of concrete technical details, the impossible audience reach claims ('everyone'), and the ambiguous financial metrics (unclear currency for market cap) result in a score reflecting minimal proven utility based on the provided evidence.
