Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

True North ITG is a legitimate, established MSP with ~$10M revenue and ~50 employees, significantly larger than the calibration baseline (HackerNoon). However, the submission quality was extremely poor, featuring false claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing revenue figures. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the input.
