Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Sedna Industrial IT Solutions is a verified, established South African technology company (est. 2006) with ~125 employees and significant real-world traction in the mining sector, including partnerships with Nokia and private 5G deployments. However, the project submission itself was of very low quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people') and ambiguous financial data ('marketcap: 2500000'). While the actual business warrants a high valuation (comparable to or exceeding the calibration reference), the score is penalized heavily by Quality Factors due to the inaccurate and lazy submission details.
