Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

AliExpress is a globally dominant e-commerce platform with verifiable massive utility and traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, providing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and inaccurate data (e.g., team size, missing revenue) rather than specific evidence. The score reflects the undeniable high-value reality of the entity (high base scores) heavily penalized by the lack of substantiated detail in the application (low Quality Factors).
