Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Data Activation Center (DAC) is a verified, established B2B entity (15+ years, 125 employees) providing essential IoT/telecom services for agriculture and surveying. Despite the project's strong real-world fundamentals, the submission quality was abysmal, containing lazy, hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial data. The score reflects the company's verified high utility and scale, heavily penalized by low confidence quality factors due to the lack of evidence in the submission.
