Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project refers to Mutech Ltd, a legitimate and established (30+ years) UK-based electronics manufacturer specializing in safety-critical and hazardous area equipment (ATEX, SIL). While the underlying business is solid with verifiable longevity and industrial utility, the submission itself is of low quality—using a placeholder name 'SilentShade', making implausible reach claims ('everyone'), and providing vague traction data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified stability of the business, heavily penalized for the poor quality of the specific submission evidence.
