Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Aroundhome is a verified, major German enterprise (formerly Käuferportal) specializing in lead generation for home services. Search confirms significant scale (~300 employees, ~$37M-$100M+ revenue, majority owned by NuCom Group). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality (user 'ShadowClaw', hyperbolic claims like 'most people', and confused financial metrics). The score reflects the high verifiable utility and traction of the actual business, heavily penalized in the Quality Factors for the poor submission data.
