Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'DeepShade' is identified as GreenKub, a well-established French company (founded 2013) selling modular garden studios. While the submission quality is extremely poor (incorrect name, hyperbolic claims like 'most people', and vague audience), the underlying business is highly successful with verified revenue of ~€24M (2024) and ~145 employees. The discrepancy between the claimed team size (350) and reality (~145) is noted. The high Proof of Usefulness score reflects the verifiable real-world utility and significant market traction of GreenKub, despite heavy penalties applied to the 'Response Quality', 'Reach', and 'Innovation' metrics due to the submitter's failure to provide accurate or detailed information.
