Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Inux AB appears to be a legitimate, established Swedish software consultancy (founded ~2007) specializing in embedded systems and building automation, with verifiable history (e.g., hardware manuals from 2009). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring exaggerated claims of 'everyone' reach and unverifiable statements like 'most people have used my product'. While the business has real-world utility and a team of ~30 implies decent scale, the submission's lack of specific product evidence and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 2500000' likely refers to revenue or valuation in SEK/USD) significantly hamper the score.
