Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

3DSE Management Consultants is a verified, established consultancy (founded 2001) with significant B2B traction and major industrial clients (e.g., automotive, aerospace). However, the submission quality is poor, containing factually incorrect claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). While the underlying business is solid and revenue-generating (approx. $17M cited), the project is a service business rather than a scalable technology product, limiting its innovation score. The final score reflects strong real-world utility and verified corporate history, heavily penalized for delusional metadata claims and lack of technical novelty.
