Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project represents a well-established media entity (China Daily USA), verified by the email domain. However, the submission quality is critically low, characterized by hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people'), missing specific metrics, and a confusing 'marketcap' figure. While the underlying entity has significant real-world reach, the Proof of Usefulness evaluation relies on the evidence presented, which in this case is unprofessional and unsubstantiated. The score reflects the gap between the brand's potential and the poor quality of the submission.
