Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

TowerData (now acquired by AtData) is a legitimate, established data solutions company with significant real-world utility and revenue, matching the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration. However, the submission itself is extremely low quality, containing unverifiable hyperbole ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking any verifiable metrics. The score reflects the strong underlying business reality verified externally, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of direct evidence in the application.
