Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Articulate is a verified industry leader in e-learning (Series A valuation ~$3.75B), far exceeding the 'Comparable scale' calibration. While the submission itself was low-effort (claiming '0' team size and vague audience data), the external reality of the project is massive. The score reflects high utility, market dominance, and verifiable financial traction, penalized slightly by the poor response quality and the randomization factor due to data discrepancies.
