Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Puma Capital Group is a verified, substantial UK financial entity managing over £1 billion in assets (AUM) and employing ~130 staff, confirming high real-world utility and traction despite the submission's poor quality. The submission contained lazy placeholder text (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'AncientSpirit'), which severely impacted the Response Quality and Traction Quality Factor. However, the underlying business reality—funding SMEs and property development—warrants a high score consistent with the 'Much larger scale' calibration bucket.
