Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Suunnittelu Särmä is a verifiable Finnish engineering consultancy (Business ID: 3199816-8) specializing in medical and industrial design. However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies: public records indicate 2024 revenue of ~€187k and a very small team (1-3 employees), contradicting the claimed '500,000 marketcap' and 30-person team. The claims that 'most people have used my product' and the audience is 'everyone' are hyperbolic for a niche B2B service. The submission also contains data inconsistencies (name field 'WhisperShade' vs. project name). While a functional business, the disparity between actual traction and claimed metrics heavily impacts the score.
