Proof of Usefulness Score

The project represents a legitimate, established German SME ('daten-strom.Medical-IT-Services GmbH') specializing in eHealth and IT security for medical practices. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', traction is 'most people'). While the underlying business has real-world utility in a niche local market, the submission fails to provide verifiable evidence of a scalable technology product, and the financial figures provided appear to be confused (labeling revenue as 'marketcap'). The score reflects the existence of a stable service business severely penalized by a low-quality, exaggerated submission.
