Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a well-established (1991) IT Managed Service Provider (MSP) and integrator for K-12 education in New York ('Acture' / CSI). While the submission contains significant exaggerations regarding audience reach ('everyone') and lacks professional detail, the underlying business fundamentals—30 employees and a potential $17M market cap/revenue—demonstrate strong real-world utility and traction. The score reflects a solid, revenue-generating traditional business, penalized for a low-quality submission and lack of digital innovation compared to modern tech startups.
