Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Cambashi is a legitimate, established (est. 1984) market intelligence firm with significant verified traction (approx. $17M revenue, global partnerships), fitting the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims ('everyone' as audience, 'most people' as users) and confusing metrics ('marketcap' used for revenue). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and verified utility in the industrial software sector, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the application data.
