Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

ZealiD is a verifiable, regulated EU Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) with significant funding (~$9.6M) and a legitimate product (e-signatures/eID). However, the submission quality is critically poor, featuring demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and lazy data entry (Technolgies: 'Internet'). While the underlying business fundamentals (Team ~30-50, Est. Rev ~$3M) justify a score higher than the baseline, the 'Proof' is severely undermined by the submitter's lack of credible evidence and professionalism.
