Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Enium is a verifiable solar financing company operating since 2013 with significant revenue ($5M-$10M estimated) and a team of ~50-125 employees. However, the project submission is extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone'). External due diligence reveals significant red flags, including an 'F' rating from the BBB, multiple consumer complaints regarding predatory practices/incomplete installations, and lawsuits. While the business has established market utility and traction, the combination of deceptive submission data and poor consumer reputation heavily penalizes the score.
