Cellular Sales

+642
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Cellular Sales is a verified, large-scale Verizon retailer with nearly 800 stores and over 7,000 employees, placing it in the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier ($2B+ est. revenue). However, the project submission itself is of low quality, featuring copy-pasted marketing text, lazy data entry (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: 1000000001'), and zero evidence of proprietary technical innovation. The high score is driven entirely by the verifiable existence and massive scale of the business entity, heavily penalized by the lack of technical novelty and the poor quality of the Proof of Usefulness submission.
