Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate educational institution (University of Applied Sciences Jena) rather than a specific technology project or startup. While the entity itself has significant real-world utility and an established history (founded 1991), the submission appears to be a low-effort entry by a student (evidenced by the ID-based email and 'marketcap' confusion). The claims of 'everyone' for reach and 'most people' for traction are factually incorrect exaggerations, resulting in a low score despite the institution's actual credibility.
