Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents Aegon N.V., a major multinational financial services group established in 1844. While the submission data is informal and contains inaccuracies (e.g., stating market cap as 1B instead of ~10B+, user 'CrimsonFang'), the entity's actual scale, reach, and utility are undeniable and verifiable via the domain. The project scores exceptionally high on Reach and Traction due to its status as a global incumbent, but scores low on Innovation and Response Quality due to the legacy nature of the industry and the poor effort of the specific submission.
