Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Erminas GmbH is a legitimate, established German software agency (approx. 30 employees, founded 2007) specializing in Industrial IoT and digital transformation. While the entity itself has verified utility and a stable client base (e.g., Willenbrock, Thomson Linear), the project submission is of very low quality, containing factually incorrect claims such as 'most people have used my product' and nonsensical revenue figures ('marketcap: 500000'). The score reflects the solid real-world value of the business, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the false reach claims.
