Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

SaleHoo is a well-established eCommerce directory (founded 2005) with a significant footprint and team size (45-90 employees), indicating strong real-world utility and verified historical traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('space-technology', 'everyone' as audience) and lacking verifiable data. The high score reflects the underlying value and maturity of the actual business entity, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors (Qi) due to the poor, exaggerated response provided.
