Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

DevGrid is a verified, established UK/Brazil software consultancy (est. 2015) with ~125 employees and estimated annual revenue of ~$6M-$7M, significantly exceeding the baseline calibration. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hallucinated claims ('most people have used my product'), vague targeting ('everyone'), and a mismatched name ('SilentStorm'). The score reflects the strong, verifiable business fundamentals (10 years operation, £50M+ delivered value) heavily penalized by the poor quality of the application data.
