+386
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents 8VC, a top-tier venture capital firm with over $6 billion in AUM and significant portfolio impact (Palantir, Anduril). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, providing almost no descriptive detail and containing lazy or inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). While the entity's verifiable scale and utility justify a high baseline, the 'Quality Factor' penalties for vague/unsupported input severely dampen the final score, placing it just above the benchmark for established tech brands due to sheer market weight rather than submission effort.
