Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

DME Systems Ltd is a legitimate, growing UK engineering firm specializing in subsea and offshore equipment, recently acquired by Woocheen (Sealaska). While the company itself demonstrates strong real-world utility and verified traction (acquisition, 20+ projects, moving to larger premises), the submission contains significant inaccuracies and low-quality data. The claim 'most people have used my product' is objectively false for a niche B2B manufacturer, and the 'marketcap' terminology indicates poor financial literacy or data entry. The team size (125) appears exaggerated compared to public records (approx. 25). The score reflects the underlying business quality heavily penalized by the poor submission integrity.

Description
DME is a collaboration of engineers looking to get involved in challenging projects specialising in power and control of large equipment and structures. Core experience around offshore equipment - deck LARS; subsea ROVs and trenchers. We also have terrestrial experience on civil structures - dock gates, bridges etc. What value can we bring? Ever feel like someone is trying to sell you something you don't want? It's useless and wastes everyone's time. We focus on understanding the underlying problem and where the solution really adds value to a clients operation. Only by listening deeply do we feel that we can bring the right solution to the table. Engineering is partly technical and 100% a team effort. Listening to Understand.
