Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Infoscience Technologies Limited is a verified, legitimate B2B geoscience AI company with high-value enterprise clients (Petronas, Anglo American, OMV) and patented NLP technology ('OpportunityFinder'). However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsense data ('marketcap: null', name 'ShadowRider'). The high score reflects the verified reality of the technology and traction, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and inaccurate reach claims.
