Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Heicon is a legitimate German engineering consultancy specializing in safety-critical embedded systems (ISO 26262, DO-178C). However, the submission contains significant red flags and false claims, such as targeting 'everyone' and stating 'most people have used my product,' which contradicts the niche B2B nature of the business. The financial metric provided ('all time marketcap') is non-standard for a private GmbH, likely indicating cumulative revenue or a misunderstanding. While the underlying business has high utility for aviation/automotive sectors, the poor quality and inaccuracy of the submission data severely impact the score.
