Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Wealden HR & Payroll Solutions is a legitimate, established UK-based provider (since 1983) with a verified 125-person team and significant client base, confirming high real-world utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, featuring lazy and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'audience: everyone', 'traction: most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics. While the underlying business is robust and outperforms the calibration baseline in scale, the PoU score is heavily penalized due to the lack of verifiable evidence provided in the form and the unprofessional nature of the response.
