Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager. While the entity itself possesses immense real-world utility, global reach, and verifiable market dominance (trillions in AUM), the submission quality is notably low (generic descriptions, vague claims like 'everyone'). The score reflects the massive scale and proven traction of the entity, penalized significantly by the lack of effort and detail in the response, which casts some doubt on the seriousness of the specific submission.
