Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Tactiq Ltd. is a verified, established UK consultancy (founded 1996) specializing in embedded systems for high-value sectors like healthcare and automotive. With ~30 employees and implied revenue of £2.5M, it demonstrates solid traction and longevity. However, the project submission is of very low quality, featuring a pseudonym ('MysticKeeper'), vague descriptions, and hyperbolic, unverifiable claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product'). The score acknowledges the legitimate business foundation but is heavily penalized for the lack of specific, verifiable evidence and the inaccurate categorization of a B2B service as having universal consumer reach.
