Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The Adelaïde Group is a major, established European insurance brokerage entity with verified turnover exceeding €400M and over 2,500 employees, significantly outscaling the calibration baseline. While the user submission was low-quality (vague text, inaccurate market cap claim), the verifiable public data (90-year history, verified URL) confirms high real-world utility and massive traction. The score reflects the entity's substantial market presence (team size 3,000, Europe-wide reach) penalized slightly for the lack of technical detail and poor submission effort.
