Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

DevonWay is a verifiable, established enterprise software provider (acquired by Ideagen in 2023) with significant real-world utility in regulated industries (Energy, Nuclear, Biotech). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone') and missing critical data (revenue, active users). The score reflects the high intrinsic value and proven traction of the actual company, heavily penalized by the low quality and inaccuracy of the submission data.
