Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project 'Auvik Networks Inc.' represents a highly successful, verifiable business (acquired for ~$250M in 2021) with significant market utility. However, this specific submission is of exceptionally poor quality, characterized by vague claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone'), inaccuracies (e.g., 'marketcap 35000000'), and a lack of supporting evidence. While the underlying entity is strong, the PoU methodology heavily penalizes the failure to demonstrate usefulness through the submission itself. The score reflects the gap between the company's reality and the submission's 'lazy' documentation.
