Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission describes Rootstack, a well-established software development agency with significant scale (350+ employees, 10+ years, 6 locations). While the underlying business demonstrates strong real-world traction and utility, the submission itself contains major inconsistencies (Project Name 'SilentShade' vs 'Rootstack') and low-quality claims (Audience Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people...'). The score reflects the high verifiable commercial value of the agency, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the input data.
