Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Turcotronics appears to be a legitimate but small Italian engineering consultancy and blog specializing in industrial automation and embedded systems. However, the project submission suffers significantly from vague, hyperbolic, and unverifiable claims. The statement 'most people have used my product' is unsupported by any evidence, and the term 'marketcap' is misused for a service business. While the underlying business exists and offers useful engineering services locally, the submission fails to demonstrate the global reach, specific product traction, or scalability implied. The response quality is low, lacking specific details required for a higher score.
