Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Newcom appears to be a legitimate, long-standing (est. 1997) B2B systems integrator for public safety, which provides real-world utility. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring unrealistic audience claims ('everyone', 'most people') and contradictory metrics (350 employees vs. a claimed $2.5M market cap/revenue, which is economically inconsistent). The discrepancies and lack of verifiable traction evidence significantly reduce the confidence score.
