Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

MF Fire is a legitimate, verified company producing smart, high-efficiency wood stoves with over $2M in annual revenue and backing from the Department of Energy. However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry ('all time marketcap: null'). The score reflects the strong real-world utility and technical innovation of the actual products, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission and the false claims regarding audience reach.
