Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents BILL (NYSE: BILL), a major publicly traded financial automation platform with established dominance in the SMB market. While the real-world utility and traction are undeniably high (serving hundreds of thousands of businesses), the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing significant inaccuracies (e.g., stating a $75M market cap versus the actual multi-billion dollar valuation) and vague claims ('everyone', 'most people'). The score reflects the verified massive scale and utility of the entity, heavily penalized in the Response Quality metric and Quality Factors due to the lack of effort and precision in the submission.
