Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Tanso (Tanso Tech GmbH) is a legitimate, high-growth Series A climate tech company offering carbon accounting software for industrial manufacturing, with verified funding of ~$23M and ~300 enterprise clients. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing patently false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone') and lazy placeholder data. The final score recognizes the strong real-world utility and market timing of the actual business but applies significant penalties to Audience Reach, Traction, and Response Quality due to the unreliable and inaccurate submission.
