Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Western States Metal Roofing is a substantial, established business (est. 1996) with significant team size (125) and implied revenue, placing it in the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier. However, the project submission itself is of low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), misused data fields (market cap vs revenue), and vague audience definitions ('everyone'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verifiable scale of the manufacturing business, heavily penalized by the lack of technical innovation and the poor quality of the Proof of Usefulness submission.
