Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Ultima Business Solutions is a substantial, established UK-based IT managed services provider (founded 1990) with verified revenue exceeding £100M and a pending merger with Trustmarque to form a £1B+ entity. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing false audience claims ('everyone', 'most people') and nonsensical financial data ('17000000 marketcap' vs actual ~$140M revenue). While the real-world business has high traction and utility, the score is heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the unverifiable and exaggerated nature of the submission text.
