Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Pantacor is a verified, legitimate company (est. 2016) offering high-utility containerization solutions for embedded Linux IoT systems (Pantavisor). While the submission contains false claims regarding reach ('everyone', 'most people') and poor response quality, external verification confirms a solid technical foundation, a team of ~30, and valid B2B market relevance. The score reflects the strong underlying technology and established business status, significantly penalized by the hyperbolic and unreliable submission data.
