Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate local meal delivery business in Finland (Lagom Food Oy), verified via external financial data (~€190k revenue in 2024). However, the submission contains grossly exaggerated and deceptive claims, stating a team size of 125 (reality: ~1) and implyng 'everyone' has used the product. The 'marketcap' figure appears to be a hallucination or confusion with crypto terminology. While the service has real-world utility, the score is heavily penalized for false traction signals and deceptive input data.
