Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

A16 Tecnologia is a verifiable Brazilian consultancy (a16.tec.br) offering specialized services in PostgreSQL, IoT, and Machine Learning. However, the submission is of extremely low quality, listing 'Internet' as the sole technology and making statistically impossible claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product'). While the actual business appears legitimate and technically competent in niche areas (e.g., racing lap timers, PCB fault detection), the score is heavily penalized by the hyperbolic and unverifiable assertions in the application data.
