Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

DeGame is a legitimate, established manufacturing business (est. 1996) with 33 employees, producing essential paper products. However, as a traditional manufacturing operation submitted to a technology evaluation framework, it scores low on innovation and scalability compared to digital startups. The submission quality was poor, with vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and confusing financial terminology ('marketcap' used for revenue), which heavily penalized the score despite the business's apparent stability.
