Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Zellaco AB is a verifiable, established Swedish design house (founded/restructured ~2021) with a significant team size (~30 employees) specializing in embedded systems and IoT. The project demonstrates strong real-world utility and technical depth. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and ambiguous financial data ('marketcap: 2500000'). While the underlying business is solid and scales well above the baseline, the 'Proof' provided is weak, resulting in heavy penalties on Reach and Traction quality factors.
