Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission describes 'Scalac', a well-established software consultancy (founded 2014, ~350 employees) specializing in Scala/Big Data. While the business itself shows strong real-world utility and verifiable traction (significant team size, market longevity), the submission quality is critically poor (generic claims like 'everyone' for audience, false claims like 'most people have used my product', and the mismatched project name 'WhisperSpirit'). The score reflects the high verifiable value of the underlying business, heavily penalized for inaccurate and lazy submission data.
