Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Aflac, a Fortune 500 insurance provider established in 1955 with verified massive scale (12,000+ employees, millions of customers). While the identity is verified via the corporate email domain, the submission quality is extremely low ('everyone', 'most people', 'marketcap: null') and lacks specific details on the 'ShadowKeeper' project. The score reflects the undeniable market traction and utility of the underlying business, significantly penalized for lack of technical innovation evidence and poor submission effort.
