Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents a verified, established Italian IT services company (ITS S.r.l.) serving municipal entities in South Tyrol with confirmed revenue of ~€1.4M (2024). However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people'), inaccurate metrics ('marketcap' vs revenue), and minimal detail. While the real-world utility for the specific locality is high, the submission fails to demonstrate the reach or innovation claimed. The score reflects a penalty for the low-effort submission applied to a solid, existing business foundation.
