+401
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

ebm-papst Neo is a verifiable B2B digital solutions subsidiary of the major German engineering firm ebm-papst (revenue €2.5B+). While the project itself has significant industrial utility (IoT, predictive maintenance) and strong corporate backing, the submission data is of extremely poor quality. The submitter conflated the parent company's history (1963 launch) with the startup unit (2020 launch) and provided vague, inaccurate claims ('everyone', 'most people'). The score reflects the high intrinsic value of the business unit, heavily penalized for the lack of specific evidence and poor submission effort.
