Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Mensken is a verifiable Dutch eHealth company with a legitimate platform (Sophie) for elderly care and verifiable operations in the Netherlands and China. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, submitted by an alias ('ShadowWalker') and containing factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone'). While the underlying project has real-world utility and a team of ~30 suggests established operations, the PoU score is heavily penalized by the unprofessional response and exaggerated traction claims.
