Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

EpiQ AB is a legitimate embedded systems consultancy based in Sweden, operating as a subsidiary of the successful Qgroup (recently acquired by Nexer). While the underlying business model is proven and profitable (embedded software for automotive/telecom), the submission quality is exceptionally poor. The user provided confusing financial metrics ('marketcap' instead of revenue), hyperbolic claims regarding reach ('everyone', 'most people'), and minimal detail on specific innovations. The score reflects the solid foundation of the actual business entity, heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable data and low-effort submission.
