Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a legitimate and significant corporate entity (IVICT Europe GmbH, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation) with implied revenues in the hundreds of millions ($300M claimed). However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, utilizing a pseudonym ('WhisperClaw') and vague, hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') that fail to accurately describe the B2B chemical trading business. While the real-world utility and verifiable traction of the entity are high, the score is heavily penalized by the lack of technical innovation (traditional wholesale model) and the low quality of the response data.
