Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Dead Man Safe proposes a highly relevant solution to a growing real-world problem (digital legacy and crypto inheritance). However, the project is entirely pre-launch with zero demonstrable traction, active users, or revenue, strictly limiting its score. Furthermore, the submission includes visibly copy-pasted conversational text in the technology section, demonstrating poor response quality and obscuring actual technical details. Consequently, the project receives severe penalties in reach, traction, technical innovation, and response quality.

Description

DeadMan Safe is a digital legacy management platform that secures messages, assets, and instructions, and releases them to a trusted circle only when needed — combining check-in based failsafes (Vault Pulse™) with hardware-backed crypto inheritance (DeathVault USB Key™).

Audience Reach

Pre-launch (MVP beta phase) Year 1, 50,000 in Year 2, and 250,000 by Year 3, plus B2B distribution through law firms, wealth managers, and insurance partners reaching their existing client bases.

Target Users

Individuals and families who want their digital assets, messages, and instructions passed on securely after death — including cryptocurrency holders who currently lack clear inheritance solutions. Also built for B2B: law firms, estate planners, and wealth management firms who need a digital legacy tool for their clients. Currently in discussions with 3 law firms and 10+ wealth management/insurance firms for partnerships.

Technologies

Other, None of the listed sponsor technologies (Bright Data, Storyblok, Neo4j, Algolia) appear to match — this looks like it'd be "Other / Custom Stack." I don't have your actual tech stack from the deck (it covers product/business, not implementation). What's DeadMan Safe actually built on — e.g. web framework, blockchain layer for timestamping, hardware/firmware for the DeathVault USB Key™?

Traction Evidence

Pre-launch. Expectations: MVP beta launching with 100 users, targeting 5,000 paid users and initial partnerships with 3 law firms within Year 1, based on a $180B+ estate planning market and $1T+ in crypto assets currently lacking inheritance solutions.
