+505
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project is Box (box.com), a publicly traded cloud content management company established in 2005. The submission is verified via a corporate @box.com email. While the response quality is extremely low (brief, vague descriptions), the real-world utility, massive audience reach (Fortune 500 penetration), and verified market traction (multi-billion dollar market cap) drive the score into the 'Much Larger Scale' category. The score is penalized solely by the lack of effort in the submission text.
