Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission identifies Embedded Brains GmbH, a highly reputable German engineering firm (founded 2005) specializing in Real-Time Operating Systems (RTEMS) for space and industrial applications. External verification confirms they are a key partner for the European Space Agency (ESA). However, the specific submission data is of very poor quality, containing nonsensical claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people', revenue is 'marketcap: 500000'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified technical difficulty of their actual work, heavily penalized by the lack of accurate data and professional effort in the submission itself.
