Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Mestergruppen Sverige is a market-leading conglomerate in the Swedish building materials sector with ~13 billion SEK in turnover and massive physical infrastructure (470+ stores). The project scores exceptionally high on Utility, Traction, and Reach due to its dominance in the physical market. However, the score is constrained by a near-zero Technical Innovation score (as it is a retail operation, not a technology solution) and poor Response Quality (conflicting revenue data and vague claims in the submission form). The evaluation reflects a massive, established 'real-world' business rather than a software startup.
