Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

BlueCrest is a verified industrial giant (formerly Pitney Bowes DMT) with estimated revenues of ~$300M+ and 1,600+ employees, providing critical global postal and parcel automation infrastructure. However, the project submission itself is extremely poor ('everyone', 'most people'), lacking specific metrics or effort. The final score reflects the massive verifiable real-world utility and scale of the entity, significantly penalized by the low quality of the submission evidence (Qi). Scores are scaled to a 1,000-point basis consistent with the 'Comparable Scale' calibration tier, rather than the 'Much Larger Scale' tier it would achieve with proper documentation.
