Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Shattered Silicon is a verifiable, established (founded 2000) UK-based consultancy specializing in embedded software for automotive and defense sectors. While the business demonstrates clear real-world utility and longevity, the project submission is of exceptionally poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims (audience 'everyone') and confused financial metrics ('marketcap' used for revenue). The score reflects the project's validity as a functional SME, tempered by the non-scalable nature of the consultancy model and the lack of verifiable growth data provided in the input.
