Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

InterBolt is a legitimate UK-based industrial IoT company specializing in bolt load monitoring for wind turbines (e.g., partnerships with GE Vernova, ORE Catapult). However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 2500000', likely referencing a £2.5M seed valuation or revenue). While the underlying technology and problem-solution fit (Real-World Utility) are strong and verified externally, the score is heavily penalized by the submission's lack of credibility and low-effort responses.

Description
InterBolt Intelligent Bolting. Our technology provides bolt load measurements to technicians on site to ensure bolts are tightened accurately and efficiently.
