Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Kermise Inc. is a verifiable early-stage B2B entity focused on energy management (NeroTech) with valid incubator membership (The Tech Garden) and claimed Letters of Intent ($1M+). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing significant inaccuracies: it misidentifies the product as 'DeepClaw' (unrelated robotics tech), falsely claims 'everyone' as the audience, and asserts 'most people have used my product,' which is factually impossible for a specialized B2B startup. These hallucinations severely penalize the score despite the legitimate underlying business context.
