Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Makk (MAKK AG) is a verified, established Swiss manufacturer of facility equipment (lockers, waste systems) with a history dating back to 1959 (formerly EDAK). While the project demonstrates high real-world utility and significant B2B traction (acquired by Hammer Group in 2022), the submission itself is of low quality, claiming 'everyone' as the audience and providing vague data. As a traditional industrial business, it scores low on technical innovation but high on stability and physical utility. The claimed market cap/revenue (75M) and team size (125) diverge slightly from external data (approx. 35 direct employees, though likely more within the parent group), suggesting some inflation in the input.
