Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Internet Malt UK Ltd. appears to be a legitimate, long-running (est. 2005) small business group managing niche e-commerce sites and a local shop. However, the submission scores low due to a lack of technical innovation (standard retail), reliance on declining or commoditized markets (physical media, lighters), and poor submission quality characterized by hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and ambiguous financial data.
