Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The Hazard Factory is a verifiable Belgian entity providing VR safety training with proven partnerships (IDEWE, Worksafe) and recent growth capital (Sept 2024). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring obvious hallucinations ('most people have used my product') and vague data ('marketcap 500000'). While the underlying business has high utility and valid B2B traction, the score is heavily penalized by the unreliable submission data and false audience claims.

Description
Het aantal arbeidsongevallen is recht evenredig met de blootstellingstijd aan risico’s. Bij The Hazard Factory zijn we er van overtuigd dat we deze tijd drastisch kunnen reduceren door medewerkers met behulp van een praktische Virtual Reality veiligheidstraining alerter te maken voor veiligheidsrisico’s. The Hazard Factory biedt kwalitatieve VR opleidingen die in team beleefd worden. We koppelen dit aan onze passie voor innovatieve oplossingen die bedrijven efficiënter kunnen maken. Laat risico’s niet aan het toeval over!
