Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission contains severe discrepancies between the provided URL (Vadec SA, a Swiss waste management utility) and the project description ('Health-tech startup', 'Semiconductors'). Claims of reaching 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false and hyperbolic. The data provided (team size 125, market cap 17M) appears to be either fabricated or mistakenly attributed to the wrong industry context. The submission is evaluated as low-quality with significant red flags regarding accuracy and credibility.
