Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'ThunderWing' appears to be a submission for Houle Electric, a major Canadian electrical and technology infrastructure firm established in 1944. The data indicates massive scale (3,000 team members, ~$300M market cap/revenue) and critical real-world utility in healthcare and industrial sectors. While the submission response quality is low (vague claims of 'everyone' and minimal details), the verifiable traction of the underlying entity places it in the top tier of established scale. The score reflects high utility and traction, tempered by a lack of specific digital innovation details and submission effort.
