Proof of Usefulness Report

Citi India

Analysis completed on 2/6/2026

+32
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a low-effort entry claiming a major global financial entity (Citibank) without providing specific project details, technical documentation, or verifiable metrics. While the entity itself has massive scale, the submission contains hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people'), inaccurate revenue formatting, and lacks evidence of specific technical innovation. Furthermore, the 'Citi India' consumer business was largely divested in 2023, making the project context unclear. The score reflects the poor quality of the submission rather than the bank's actual market cap.
