Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Codecentric AG is a well-established German software consultancy with verifiable history (20+ years), significant scale (500+ employees), and market presence. However, the submission quality is low, containing contradictory data (Team size: 3000 vs 500+), vague claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people' traction), and a mismatch between the Project Name 'GoldenStone' and the description of the corporate entity. While the underlying business fundamentals warrant a high score (comparable to 400-700 range), the poor evidence quality and submission effort invoke significant penalties.
