Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Master Electric appears to be a legitimate, established electrical contracting firm (est. 1973) with significant scale (~350 employees, ~$75M+ revenue), verifying the claim of high real-world traction despite the hyperbolic submission text ('most people'). While the project lacks software innovation and the submission quality was poor, the sheer economic weight and longevity of the business drive a high Proof of Usefulness score compared to smaller digital startups.
