Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

IR Pros is a verified industrial refrigeration partnership with significant traction (~$16.4M estimated revenue, 63-125+ employees). While the submission quality is extremely low (unprofessional name 'BlazeStorm', inaccurate claims of 'everyone' reach, and 'marketcap' terminology), the underlying business demonstrates high real-world utility and strong financial traction consistent with the '$10M+ Revenue' calibration tier. Scores are heavily penalized for submission quality but boosted by verifiable external business metrics.
