+308
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The submission represents 'Healthe by Lighting Science', a legitimate and established company in the circadian lighting space with verifiable history (formerly Lighting Science Group). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), missing financial data, and a placeholder name ('GoldenForge'). While external verification confirms the company's real-world utility and technical innovation (NASA collaboration, patents), the 'Proof of Usefulness' is severely hampered by the lack of specific evidence provided in the entry. The score reflects a balance between the verified existence of a mature company (comparable to the HackerNoon baseline) and the significant penalties for vague and exaggerated submission data.
