Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate German university (Fachhochschule Südwestfalen) and a specific research lab, indicating high potential real-world utility. However, the submission quality is extremely low, likely created by a student ('ShadowRider') rather than an official representative. Claims such as 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone', and a '300,000,000 market cap' are unverified exaggerations or hallucinations. While the entity itself is established and valuable, the specific project submission fails to provide credible evidence of traction, innovation, or ownership, resulting in a low score typical of unverified or low-effort entries.
