Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate Italian home and building automation business (Control Casa/C.E.L. S.r.l.), but the submission quality is critically low. While the product has real-world utility for local installation, the submission contains demonstrable falsehoods regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). The revenue/market cap figure suggests a small local enterprise. The score reflects the reality of a functional small business severely penalized by exaggerated, unprofessional claims and lack of verifiable evidence.
