Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Home2net is a legitimate German IoT manufacturer (established 2012) offering practical Industry 4.0 hardware and cloud solutions. However, the project submission suffers significantly from hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). While the underlying technology and utility are real and verified externally, the submission's poor quality and lack of verifiable growth metrics for a 12-year-old company limit its score. The revenue/market cap figure provided is ambiguous but implies a small-scale operation relative to its longevity.
