Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission describes 'El Arenal', a well-established construction and hardware distributor in Guatemala (founded 1988) with verifiable physical presence (6 agencies) and significant scale (350 employees). However, the submission quality is poor, using the incorrect name 'StarClaw' and vague filler text for traction claims. While the business itself demonstrates high real-world utility and strong regional traction, the project lacks technical innovation and the submission data is inconsistent.
