Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Anaconda is an industry-standard platform for data science with massive verifiable utility and reach (30M+ users). However, the submission quality is extremely poor ('BlazeFang', 'everyone', 'most people'), failing to provide specific evidence. The score reflects the project's immense real-world value and 'unicorn' status, heavily penalized by the lack of effort in the 'Proof' submission. A professional submission would likely score 850+.
