Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Tianjin Great Metal Technology (GRT New Energy) is a verifiable subsidiary of the established Runfei Steel Group (founded 1998), focusing on solar mounting systems and steel distribution. While the submission input contains significant errors (claiming 'everyone' as audience, nonsense revenue figures, and 'most people' as traction), the description accurately outlines a large-scale industrial operation with 120,000 tons of annual trade volume and international exports. The project scores highly on Utility and verified Traction due to its industrial scale and market relevance, but the score is dampened by the extremely poor quality of the submission data, which contradicts the verifiable scale of the business.
