Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Pyrocel Limited is a verifiable, established UK-based fire and security services company (est. 1989) with significant traction (approx. 74 verified employees, £5.5M+ assets), exceeding the scale of typical startup submissions. However, the submission quality is poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap' for a private entity). While the underlying business utility and stability are high, the score is tempered by the lack of technical innovation (service provider vs. tech creator) and the low quality of the project description provided.
