Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Optiva Inc. is a verified, publicly traded (TSX: OPT) provider of mission-critical cloud-native revenue management software for the telecommunications industry. While the project represents a large-scale, established business with significant real-world utility and global reach ($50M+ annual revenue), the specific submission provided is of low quality. It contains exaggerated claims (e.g., 'everyone' as audience, inflated team size of 3000 vs. actual ~400) and lacks verifiable evidence, necessitating reliance on external public data for evaluation. The score reflects the company's established market position penalized by the lack of direct evidence in the application.
