Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

ClearScale (submitted as StarGale) is a well-established AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with significant verifiable traction (~$27M+ revenue, 150+ employees, 1000+ projects). While the submission itself was of extremely low quality (containing generic/false claims like 'most people have used my product' and mismatched project names), the underlying business entity is highly capable and relevant. The score reflects the company's strong market position and utility, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Audience Reach' confidence metrics due to the poor submission data.
