Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents IMC Logistics (imcc.com), a verifiable and massive US marine drayage provider with over $800M in annual revenue and 1,700+ employees. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience is everyone', 'most people use my product'), generic descriptions, and nonsensical revenue data. While the real-world entity is an industry leader (High Utility/Traction), the score is heavily penalized (0.5x Quality Factor) due to the submitter's failure to provide accurate evidence, valid metrics, or professional detail. The final score reflects a 'Diamond in the Rough' scenario: a major real-world business presented poorly.
