Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Mafic Ltd is a verifiable UK-based construction technology company developing the 'Safeguard' wearable. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'). While the underlying technology (IoT for safety) has real-world utility, the company appears to be operating with a skeleton crew (approx. 8 employees) following financial difficulties in 2021. The score reflects the existence of valid tech heavily penalized by a lack of credible evidence, false submission claims, and questionable current operational scale.

Description
A construction technology company using machine learning and IoT to improve working environments for all. Our mantra at Mafic is to use technology to reduce cost and reduce workload on people. Adding bells and whistles to separate us from the competition? That's not for us. We want to remove all the fluff and provide only the needed information. Quite often, if nothing needs doing that's nothing at all.
