Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents a legitimate, established B2B technology company (NVT Phybridge) with significant market presence in Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing verifiable inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 7,500 employees vs. actual ~150-300; claiming 'everyone' as the audience). While the underlying technology and business are robust with verified traction (global distribution, major partners), the score is heavily penalized by the poor quality of the input data and the lack of serious engagement in the submission process.
