Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Strix Technology demonstrates baseline real-world utility as an operational software development and consulting agency since 2015, with relevant pivots to workspace management. However, the submission relies on heavily exaggerated and unverifiable claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and reach ('everyone'). Due to the lack of specific, verifiable metrics and the generic technical description, substantial quality penalties were applied across reach, innovation, and traction.
