Proof of Usefulness Score

Gaining Momentum

Appleute is a verifiable software development agency (Germany/India) with ~30-50 employees and legitimate client reviews (e.g., Puma, Vytal), indicating real-world utility in the B2B startup market. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring false claims of 'everyone' as the audience and nonsensical revenue data. The score acknowledges the verified business operations but is heavily penalized for the lack of accurate data and exaggerated reach claims in the submission.
