Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The project represents Becton Dickinson (BD), a global medical technology giant with a $54B+ market cap and history dating back to 1897. While the submission itself is low-effort (informal traction claims, sparse technical details), the verifiable real-world utility, massive scale, and global audience reach of the entity are undeniable. The score reflects the immense value of the established corporation, significantly adjusted by a low Response Quality score due to the lack of effort in the application form.
