Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

StratosMedia is a legitimate, well-established digital signage and IoT platform with significant B2B traction, evidenced by its status as a Google Chrome Enterprise Recommended partner and global client base (e.g., AXA, Microsoft). However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor: it contained a likely incorrect project name ('WhisperForge'), hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 500000'). While the actual business demonstrates high real-world utility and enterprise reach, the submission itself failed to accurately represent the company's maturity. The score reflects the verified strength of the business (comparable to the 'established brand' benchmark) penalized slightly for the lack of direct evidence in the input.
