Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

BDEX is a legitimate, high-growth data exchange company (Inc. 5000, ~$4M+ revenue, established 2014) despite the extremely low-quality submission. The submitted claims ('everyone', 'most people') were vague and unprofessional, resulting in low Quality Factors (0.5) across metrics. However, external verification confirms strong market traction, significant B2B utility, and a verified identity resolution platform. The 'energy-solutions' tag appears to be an error, possibly confusing the company with BDEx (Basis Technologies) which serves utilities. The score reflects the company's actual robust standing, heavily penalized for the poor submission quality.
