Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'HomeSmartHome.eu' represents an existing, functional niche blog and consultancy focused on Home Assistant and IoT support. However, the submission data is heavily flawed, containing fantasy elements (the name 'WhisperFang' appears to be a user handle or RPG reference unrelated to the business), exaggerated traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and nonsensical financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying website provides valid content and services to a small enthusiast audience, the disconnect between the submission's claims and reality results in a very low score.
