Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Action24 is a well-established Irish security company (founded 1981) with significant real-world traction, including major corporate clients and a licensed Alarm Receiving Centre. While the project demonstrates high utility and strong verifiable traction (revenue ~$6M-$17M, 75+ employees), the submission itself is of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and a likely incorrect project name ('GoldenWing'). The score reflects the solid underlying business fundamentals, penalized for regional limitations and lack of novel software innovation compared to high-growth tech startups.
