+684
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents AT&T, a Tier-1 global telecommunications infrastructure provider. The submission contains undeniable metrics of massive scale (Market Cap ~$186B, Team ~140k), ensuring a high baseline score. However, the submission quality is notably poor: the description contains outdated information regarding WarnerMedia (divested in 2022), and fields like 'Evidence of Traction' are filled with low-effort claims ('most people have used my product'). While the real-world utility and reach are exceptional, the lack of specific technical detail and the factual inaccuracies in the description negatively impact the Innovation and Response Quality scores.
