Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'W3+ Fair' is a verified, established trade fair for optics, electronics, and mechanics (Wetzlar/Jena) with a 10-year track record. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (audience: 'everyone', traction: 'most people', revenue: 'marketcap 500000'). While the underlying business is viable and useful within its niche (~5,000 professional visitors), the lack of software innovation and the poor credibility of the submission data significantly lower the Proof of Usefulness score compared to a scalable tech platform.
