Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a legitimate established UK company, 'Metering Technology Solutions Ltd' (inc. 1995), with a verifiable footprint in the utility sector. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and vague data. The website 'meter.co.uk' is functional but contains placeholder errors (e.g., '0 Global Clients'), contradicting the 'leading' status claim. Despite the poor submission, the underlying business has verifiable team size (30+) and real-world utility in energy efficiency, warranting a score comparable to an established but digitally neglected SME.
