Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project submission represents Chevron Corporation, a massive, established global energy entity. While the submission text is brief and lacks effort ('most people have used my product'), the verifiable real-world utility, audience reach, and traction are exceptionally high (Fortune 500 scale). The score reflects the immense scale and utility of the entity, penalized slightly for the low quality of the submission text and the maturity of the industry (lower market timing/innovation scores compared to emerging tech). The result places it significantly above the calibration baseline (HackerNoon) due to verifying $300B+ market cap and global dependence.
