Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Catalyst137 is a verifiable, significant IoT manufacturing hub in Kitchener, Ontario, with high asset value (>100M) and major tenants (Miovision). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing factually incorrect claims ('most people have used my product', 'marketcap 500000') and lacking detail. The score reflects the high intrinsic utility and traction of the physical entity, heavily penalized by low quality factors due to the lazy and inaccurate submission data.
