Proof of Usefulness Report

Justin Rende

Analysis completed on 1/24/2026

+582
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission for 'Justin Rende' (actually Rhymetec.com) contained extremely poor, dismissive, and demonstrably false data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'). However, external verification confirms Rhymetec is a legitimate, established cybersecurity firm (founded 2015) with significant traction (1,000+ clients, 35+ employees, strong partnerships). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified market position of the business, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Quality Factor' metrics due to the low-effort submission.
