Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Yes Energy is a well-established, high-revenue B2B entity in the power market data sector, significantly larger than the calibration reference. External verification confirms strong utility, verifiable revenue (~$17M+), and legitimate technological infrastructure. However, the specific project submission provided by 'IronKeeper' contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users) and low-effort responses. While the underlying business fundamentals warrant a high score (scaling towards 600-700), the poor submission quality and misleading claims triggered Quality Factor penalties, reducing the final score to the 500 range.
