Pharma-Lunch is a legitimate, long-running (since 2017) networking event series for pharmaceutical executives in Munich, verified by external search. However, the project submission is fundamentally flawed: it presents a niche local service as a global technology product, claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users, which are demonstrably false assertions. The 'market cap' figure likely misrepresents total value generated or cumulative revenue, as the event is sponsor-free and participant-funded. While the event holds genuine utility for its specific, small audience (5-7 attendees per session), it lacks the scalability, technical innovation, and reach required for a high Proof of Usefulness score in a technology context.
