Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Olympic Controls Inc (OC) is a verifiable, established business in British Columbia (founded ~1995) specializing in building automation and IoT. While the submission contains hyperbolic claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people have used my product') and confused financial metrics ('all time marketcap'), external search confirms significant real-world traction, a physical fleet, and a multi-decade operating history. The high score reflects the underlying stability and utility of the business (comparable to a mid-sized industrial firm), penalized heavily for the poor quality and accuracy of the submission data. The project fits the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier but is dragged down by the submission quality.
