Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Hooligan Development is a verified, established South African software agency (est. 2013) with a team of 50-125 specializing in OTT and DevOps. While the submission quality is extremely poor (containing vague claims like 'audience: everyone' and confusing 'marketcap' for revenue), independent verification confirms significant B2B utility and major clients (e.g., Discovery+). The discrepancy between the verified business scale and the low-effort submission results in a heavily penalized but still positive score.
