Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Krause House is a legitimate DAO established in 2021 with the goal of purchasing an NBA team, having successfully acquired a BIG3 team (Ball Hogs) and raised significant capital (~$1.7M+ ETH) historically. However, the project appears currently dormant or inactive (listed as 'Out of Business' or 'formerly VC-backed' in some databases). Crucially, this submission contains major red flags: it claims 'robotics' as the technology (false), claims 'most people have used my product' (false), and lists 'everyone' as the audience (unrealistic). The low score reflects the 'Zombie' status of the DAO and the extremely low quality/deceptive nature of the submission.
