Mernes presents as a legitimate, established manufacturing SME (founded 1963) with a physical team of 30 and tangible industrial output (heating systems). However, the submission suffers significantly from exaggerated claims (e.g., audience reach labeled as 'everyone' and 'most people have used my product') and unclear financial metrics ('marketcap' likely referring to revenue or valuation in unspecified currency). While real-world utility is high due to the nature of the products, the Proof of Usefulness score is constrained by the lack of verifiable digital traction and the low quality of the provided evidence relative to the tech-focused evaluation criteria.
