Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Citrobits GmbH is a verifiable embedded systems and FPGA design consultancy based in Munich (est. 2020) with legitimate partnerships (Lattice, AMD) and a team of ~30. However, the project submission is extremely low quality, making false claims of 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' for traction, which significantly detracts from the credibility of the entry. The score reflects the underlying value of the verified business (comparable to a small B2B firm) heavily penalized for hyperbolic and inaccurate submission data.
