Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a legitimate, established Indian sales and distribution company (Touchstone Group) with significant scale ($60M+ revenue, 750+ employees) and valid web presence. However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, featuring nonsensical financial data ('marketcap: 50000'), lazy descriptions, and vague traction claims. The score reflects the high intrinsic utility and verified market position of the entity, severely penalized by the lack of effort and verifiable evidence provided in the submission itself.
