Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Virtual Technologies Group (VTG) is a verified, established Managed Services Provider (MSP) founded in 1962 with significant scale (est. $100M+ revenue, 350+ employees) and recent private equity-backed acquisitions (Whitlock, Quotient). While the project entity itself demonstrates high real-world utility and verified traction well above the calibration baseline, the submission quality was exceptionally poor (containing inaccurate claims like 'everyone' for audience and nonsensical revenue figures). The score reflects the strong objective reality of the business, adjusted for the low quality of the submission data.
