Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents 'Appèl B.V.', a legitimate and established Dutch catering and facilities service provider (est. 1978), rather than a new technology project. While the entity has significant real-world utility and verifiable revenue (estimated €125M+), the submission quality is extremely poor, misusing terms like 'marketcap' and providing vague evidence. The project lacks technological innovation, being a traditional service business, which heavily impacts its score in a tech-focused evaluation framework.
