Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Patterson Consulting is a legitimate, high-expertise boutique consultancy specializing in MLOps, Data Engineering, and Managed Kubeflow, evidenced by leadership (Josh Patterson, ex-Cloudera) and O'Reilly authorship. However, the submission itself contains significant errors: the project name 'WhisperStorm' appears fabricated or mistaken, the audience reach claim ('everyone') is demonstrably false for a B2B firm, and the traction claim ('most people') is impossible. Despite the low-quality submission, the underlying business has verifiable real-world utility, strong technical capability (NVIDIA partners), and operates in a high-demand market sector.
