Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

KUMMUNI is a verified Berlin-based proptech/coliving company (est. 2019) with a distinct value proposition ('Choose Your Style' furniture customization). While the submission contains hyperbolic and inaccurate claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'), external validation confirms a functioning business with hundreds of units, meaningful revenue (~$2M+ est.), and 11-20 employees. The project scores highly on utility and timing due to the Berlin housing crisis, but is penalized for response quality and the niche nature of its actual reach compared to the submission's claims. Ideally comparable in scale to established niche brands.
