Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Viboo is a verified, high-potential Swiss PropTech startup (ETH Zurich/Empa spin-off) offering AI-driven predictive control for building energy efficiency. External verification confirms significant traction (Series A funding ~€3.3M, deployed in >100 buildings, 20-40% energy savings) and strong technical innovation. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people have used') and lacking data. The final score reflects the high real-world utility and validated technology, balanced against the poor submission quality and the currently niche B2B scale compared to mass-market benchmarks.
