No Bull Services

+308
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

No Bull Services appears to be a legitimate, established boutique consultancy (founded ~2010) specializing in high-value embedded Linux and kernel development. While the technical expertise is likely high, the submission suffers from hyperbole ('everyone', 'most people') and ambiguous metrics ('marketcap' likely misused for revenue or valuation). The 'Proof of Usefulness' is grounded in their specialized engineering skills, but the project lacks the scalable impact or verifiable traction of a high-growth product. The score reflects a solid, niche service business with a poor quality submission.
