Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents an established scientific research consultancy (TFC Research and Innovation Limited) based in Ireland, active since 2012 with verifiable participation in EU Horizon Europe projects (e.g., FITTER-EU, B-Prepared). While the organization has genuine real-world utility in the B2B/academic sector, the submission itself is of very poor quality. It contains factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' for a niche consultancy) and confusing financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000'). The score reflects the legitimate business operations and longevity, significantly penalized for the lack of credible evidence and inaccurate audience claims in the submission.
