Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

PolyQuant is a legitimate, ISO-certified German biotech company (founded 2007) offering high-value QconCAT technology for protein quantification. However, the submission is of extremely low quality, containing factually false claims such as 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone' for a specialized B2B scientific product. While the underlying technology is innovative and the company is established, the score is heavily penalized due to the submitter's delusional traction claims and inaccurate data entry (e.g., wrong launch date, nonsense revenue metric).
