+605
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project, identified as Consultix Wireless (despite the likely copy-paste error naming it 'SwiftShade'), is a well-established player in the B2B telecom testing market (founded 2005, 125+ employees). The submission demonstrates high Real-World Utility and Technical Innovation with verifiable hardware products (SiteWizard, CellScout) essential for 5G/DAS deployment. However, the submission quality is heavily penalized for inaccurate claims regarding audience ('everyone') and traction ('most people'), which contradict the specialized industrial nature of the business. The score reflects a mature, high-value company hampered by a low-effort submission.
