Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

BERA GmbH is a verifiable, established personnel service provider in Germany (founded 2002) with significant scale (~€15M+ annual revenue, ~350 employees), placing it well above the 'Minimal Traction' baseline. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ('300M marketcap'). While the underlying business is strong and actionably useful in the HR sector, the project lacks technical innovation, operating primarily as a traditional service agency. The score reflects the high verifiable traction and utility, heavily penalized for the low-quality submission and lack of proprietary technology.
