Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project submission refers to 'Rockborne' (a legitimate, award-winning UK Data & AI consultancy) but uses an incorrect name 'BlazeStone' and contains highly inaccurate placeholder data (e.g., audience 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product'). Independent verification confirms Rockborne is a substantial entity with ~350 staff and 500+ consultants deployed, validating high real-world utility and traction. However, the score is significantly penalized due to the low quality and reliability of the submission text itself.
