Proof of Usefulness Score

The submission suffers from severe data inconsistencies and likely identity confusion. The URL belongs to Code Corporation (a US-based barcode hardware firm est. 1997), but the description outlines a European educational initiative ('tackling early school leaving'). Additionally, the revenue field cites an 'all time marketcap' of 2.5M, which conflicts with the actual valuation of Code Corp (acquired for ~$173M) and suggests a potential cryptocurrency confusion or data entry error. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is unverifiable and hyperbolic. Due to the incoherent data and lack of verifiable traction for the specific described project, the Proof of Usefulness is extremely low.
