Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Zlyde is a verified B2B technology provider specializing in Digital Rights Management (DRM) and media monitoring, operating as a partner/subsidiary of Athletia Sports GmbH. External validation confirms significant indirect reach through the protection of major sports assets (e.g., Bundesliga content, top tier YouTube channels). However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, providing vague ('everyone') or null answers for key metrics. The score reflects the high underlying utility and verifiable business model, heavily penalized for the lack of direct evidence and unprofessional submission details.
