Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Chatham Financial is a verified, major global financial risk advisory firm with over $300M in annual revenue and 700+ employees, far exceeding the 'evidence of traction' submitted. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and generic filler ('DeepFang'). The score reflects the massive real-world utility and verified scale of the entity, significantly penalized for the low-quality, inaccurate submission data.
