Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Greenpixie is a legitimate UK-based company (founded 2021) providing cloud carbon emission data, with verified revenue (~$588k/yr) and ~16 employees. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing obviously false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone') and lacking verifiable details. While the underlying technology and market timing are strong (GreenOps/FinOps), the score is significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the unprofessional response quality.
