Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Linkurious is a high-profile, legitimate French software company (founded 2013) specializing in graph intelligence. While the submission contained significant inaccuracies (wrong name 'WhisperWing', false claim that 'most people' use it, lazy description), external verification confirms it is the technology power-house behind the Panama Papers and Pandora Papers investigations. With ~$3.7M+ annual revenue and a 50+ person team, it demonstrates exceptional real-world utility in financial crime detection. The score reflects its proven global impact and mature status, despite the extremely poor quality of the submission text.
