+689
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents METER Group (est. 1983), a highly established manufacturer of scientific instrumentation for environmental and food safety with estimated annual revenue of ~$23M+ and verified federal contracts. While the entity itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, innovation, and traction, the submission quality is extremely poor (containing hyperbolic claims like 'everyone' and 'most people', and referencing a product 'DeepBlade' which does not appear in public catalogs). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and low-effort submission data.
