+455
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Metal Image Ltd is a verifiable, established New Zealand manufacturing business (active since 1994) with significant physical traction (~30 employees). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing confused financial metrics ('marketcap 500000') and miscategorized technologies ('Furniture'). The product (FrostKeeper/Metal Labels) has high industrial utility but low technical innovation compared to software ventures. The score reflects the solidity of the underlying business, heavily penalized for the poor quality of the submission data and lack of digital scalability.
