Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

AlphaSense is a verifiable 'Unicorn' ($4B valuation) and a market leader in AI-driven business intelligence, utilized by the majority of the S&P 100. While the project itself possesses immense real-world utility and traction, the specific submission provided was of low quality, containing lazy claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') which negatively impacted the Quality Factors. The score reflects the massive scale and success of the platform, adjusted downward for the poor submission accuracy.
