Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

PMG Consulting SAS appears to be the legitimate single-person consulting vehicle of a high-profile developer (Manfred Touron), with verifiable expertise in security, distributed systems, and P2P technologies (Berty, Docker). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and confusing metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying technical value is high, the project functions as a niche B2B service rather than a scalable technology product, limiting its real-world utility score compared to platform-based projects.
