Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Cauliflower.ai is a legitimate German AI text analytics startup founded in 2019 with verifiable enterprise clients (e.g., Tchibo, GfK). However, the project submission contains incredibly low-quality and factually false data (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people have used my product' as traction). While the technology is useful and has a proven B2B track record, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence in the submission and the false claims made by the submitter. The project fits the 'Small but promising' category based on external reality, but the submission itself is poor.
