Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Tetrel Security is a legitimate, specialized cybersecurity consultancy (est. 2023, ~30 employees) focusing on embedded systems, OT/ICS, and semiconductor security. External search confirms they are an approved OCP S.A.F.E. Security Review Provider, indicating high technical competence and industry relevance. However, the submission itself contains demonstrably false and low-quality data (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people have used my product' as traction), which severely penalizes the score. While the actual business has significant utility and promise in a critical niche, the PoU score is constrained by the lack of verifiable growth metrics in the submission and the necessary penalties for inaccurate claims.
