Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Ireckonu is a well-established hospitality middleware provider (founded 2014, ~60 employees) with verifiable B2B utility for major hotel chains. Despite the robust business fundamentals and 'Large Scale' calibration bracket (400-700), the submission quality was exceptionally poor—containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people'), missing financial data, and a pseudonym ('ShadowKeeper'). The final score credits the verifiable corporate maturity while applying significant penalties for the lack of direct evidence in the submission.
