Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Hiri is a legitimate, established German manufacturing company (founded 1878) with clear real-world utility in the industrial sector. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring exaggerated claims (Reach: 'everyone'), vague metrics, and a lack of specific detail. While the business itself is historically proven and useful, the submission fails to demonstrate the innovation or scale required for a high PoU score in a technology-focused evaluation.
