Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Fjorge is a verified, established custom software development agency in Minneapolis (founded ~2005) with significant longevity and estimated annual revenue of ~$7M+. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing verifiable exaggerations (claiming 350 employees vs. actual ~55-70) and vague descriptors ('Computer Software', 'everyone'). While the underlying business is solid and financially outperforms the calibration baseline, the score is heavily penalized by the poor quality of evidence provided and hyperbolic claims.
