Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Verified legitimate embedded systems consultancy (Serbia, ~30 staff) with solid engineering utility. However, the submission is of very low quality, containing exaggerated claims ('everyone' used it) and misused financial terminology ('marketcap'). Score reflects high real-world utility of the services provided, heavily discounted by poor evidence of traction and hyperbolic reach claims in the input data.
