Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Silicon Signals is a verifiable B2B embedded engineering service provider with legitimate partnerships (Toradex, QNX). However, the submission quality is mixed, containing copy-paste errors (project name 'SilentRider') and hyperbolic claims about audience reach ('everyone', 'most people'). While the claimed revenue ($2.5M) and team size (~50-125) indicate a healthy boutique firm comparable in scale to the calibration reference, the score is capped by the service-based business model (lower scalability than product tech) and the inaccuracies in the submission data.
