Level 5 Lighting is a standard local service business acting as an authorized distributor for Jellyfish Lighting. While the project demonstrates high real-world utility by solving permanent exterior lighting needs, it scores low on innovation as it relies on third-party technology rather than proprietary development. The submission claims of 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users are hyperbolic and inaccurate for a regional installer. With an estimated $2.5M in total revenue (misidentified as marketcap) and a team of 30, it shows stability as a Small/Medium Business (SMB) but lacks the scalability, reach, and technological novelty required for a high Proof of Usefulness score in a tech-focused evaluation.
