Unicorn Utility

The project 'GoldenStone' is identified via URL and email domain as ActBlue, the massive non-profit fundraising platform established in 2004. While the submission itself was extremely low-quality (vague claims, missing data), the verifiability of ActBlue's multi-billion dollar impact, widespread adoption, and critical role in US political infrastructure commands a top-tier score. The evaluation prioritizes verified external reality over the poor form submission, scaling the score to reflect its 'unicorn' status (400-700+ range).
