Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes 'SO/ Berlin Das Stue', a verifiable luxury hotel in Berlin, rather than a technology project. While the business entity is real and likely generates revenue (alluded to by the $75M cap claim), the submission data is of extremely low quality, containing obvious falsehoods (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'). There is zero technical innovation presented. The score reflects the existence of the business asset but is heavily penalized for lack of tech relevance, poor submission quality, and inaccurate claims.

Project Details

Description
A 5 star superior luxury boutique hotel that feels both distinctly new and unique and at the same time rediscovers some of the best traditions of Berlin's early 20th century social life. SO/ Berlin Das Stue offers a withdrawal into the private while at the same time supporting the pursuit of meaningful encounters and enchanting conversations. In our restaurants and in the bar we strive to entertain our guests with the highest level of culinary creations and beverage culture. Extracting the best of the past and present, SO/ Berlin Das Stue creates a deeply personal and truly unique atmosphere of sophistication and style. Here, the tradition of the drawing room, or salon is enriched through meaningful innovation. We believe in giving more than necessary or expected, be it space or quality, attention or inspiration. We treasure privacy and cherish individuality and yet we love acquainting people, fostering stimulating relationships and building a community. We also believe that intimacy paired with being illustriously social creates a different kind of business hotel. Because we know that the best business is done after you stop working.
