Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Zone Defense is a verified, established manufacturer of fleet safety systems (acquired by Pro-Vision in 2020) with significant real-world utility and traction. However, the submission quality was extremely poor (generic 'everyone' claims, pseudonyms, lack of specific data). The score reflects the verified high value and scale of the actual business (125+ employees, international distribution), heavily penalized by the low quality of the Proof of Usefulness submission.
