Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

N2X Process Solutions is a verifiable, established industrial supplier in Western Canada (est. 2015) with estimated annual revenue of ~$4.6M and legitimate engineering credentials (Permit to Practice). However, the project submission itself was of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and confused metrics ('marketcap' for revenue). The evaluation utilized external verification to validate the business's actual utility and traction, which are significantly stronger than the submission suggested. The score reflects a solid SME business penalized for a poor-quality application.
