+416
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Authority Partners is a well-established global IT consultancy (est. 1998) with verified revenue in the $50M-$100M+ range and over 400 employees, placing it in the 'Much Larger Scale' category (Calibration Target: 400-700). However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing vague or false claims (e.g., audience 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product'). While the verifiable business metrics drive the score up, the lack of specific evidence in the submission and the poor response quality imposed a significant penalty, keeping the score at the lower end of its potential bracket.
