+429
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Connexus Group is a verifiable Australian telecommunications provider founded in 1989 and acquired by PennyTel in 2021. While the project has significant real-world utility and a long history of traction (implied by the acquisition and longevity), the submission itself is of low quality ('ShadowClaw', 'everyone', 'most people'), containing hyperbolic claims about audience reach. The $17M 'market cap' likely refers to a peak valuation or acquisition price, as the entity is no longer publicly listed. The score reflects a legitimate, established infrastructure business, penalized significantly for a lazy submission and inaccurate reach claims.
