Proof of Usefulness Report

VallumTech Ltd.

Analysis completed on 2/21/2026

+104
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

VallumTech Ltd is a verifiable software consultancy based in Scotland, specializing in embedded systems and robotics. While the submission itself was poor—containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and vague technical details—external verification confirms a legitimate business with a competent technical stack (C++, Qt, ROS) and valid industry applications (marine navigation, payments). The project represents a sustainable small service business rather than a high-growth technology product. The score reflects the reality of a functional niche consultancy weighed against a low-effort submission.
