Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Westhon appears to be a legitimate, albeit small, investment holding company based in Brazil (associated with the Vilela family) focusing on Energy, Offshore, and Real Estate, with verifiable existence and approximately 70 employees. However, the project submission 'GoldenBlade' lacks any verifiable digital footprint and is likely an internal codename or a non-existent entity. The submission contains significant exaggerations (claiming reach to 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product'), which contradicts the B2B nature of the parent company. The self-reported market cap of 2.5M (currency unspecified) indicates a micro-cap operation. The score reflects the existence of the parent business but is heavily penalized for poor response quality and unsupported claims.
