+32
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

ApTSi (Applied Technology Solutions, Inc.) is a verifiable legacy IT consultancy established in 2002 with historical contributions to SOA and Cloud standards (e.g., The Open Group, 2008). However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). External data suggests a smaller scale (1-50 employees) than claimed (125), and the financial metric provided ('all time marketcap') is non-standard and ambiguous. The project lacks verifiable current traction evidence, resulting in a low Proof of Usefulness score despite the firm's historical legitimacy.
