Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

Stradea Design Labs is a verified, Hamilton-based digital consultancy with an impressive roster of clients (including Netflix, BMO, and Bell Canada) given its small team size of ~6 employees. While the submission contained errors (listing the name as 'WhisperRider' and claiming 'most people' have used it), independent verification confirms it is a legitimate B2B agency. The 'marketcap' figure of 2.5M likely refers to lifetime revenue, consistent with a sustainable small business. The project scores moderately for its proven utility and client traction, but lower on innovation and reach compared to scalable technology products.
