Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

ProductionHUB is a verified, established industry platform (founded 1999) with significant real-world utility in the film/media production sector. External search confirms annual revenue estimated between $5M-$10M and a team size of ~40-50, contradicting the submission's claim of 125 employees and '2.5M marketcap'. While the business itself is solid and comparable to the calibration benchmark, the submission quality was extremely poor (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), resulting in heavy penalties to the Quality Factors. The score reflects a legitimate business dragged down by a low-effort, unverifiable submission.
