Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

Burlington Stores is a verified Fortune 500 retailer with massive scale, significant market capitalization (~$17B), and widespread consumer adoption. While the submission demonstrates exceptional traction and audience reach typical of a major public company, it lacks technical innovation in the context of new technology projects and suffers from low-effort response quality (e.g., vague descriptions, conflated founding dates). The score reflects the immense real-world utility and business stability, balanced against the lack of novelty and poor submission detail.
