Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Dassiet is a legitimate Finnish health-tech company, known for its 'Woodcast' biodegradable orthopedic casting product. Founded in 2008, the company has achieved significant success, culminating in its acquisition by Embla Medical (Össur) in 2025, validating its technology and market value. While the submission itself was low-effort (e.g., hyperbolic claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), the verifiable external reality confirms high real-world utility, strong technical innovation, and a successful exit. The score reflects the high traction of an acquired medical device company, adjusted slightly downward for the poor quality of the provided responses.
