Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Diamond Microwave appears to be a legitimate hardware engineering firm specializing in high-utility GaN amplifiers for radar and defense. However, the submission is plagued by low-quality data, including false claims of mass-market reach ('everyone') and ambiguous financials ('marketcap: 2500000'). While the underlying technology is robust and the reported team size implies real operations, the disconnect between the niche industrial product and the consumer-grade submission details significantly lowers the score. The project ranks slightly below established digital brands due to these data quality issues.
