Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project, identified by URL and description as 'CodePath', is a high-impact non-profit addressing diversity in tech education. While the underlying entity has exceptional utility and traction (30,000 students, 2,000 companies), the submission itself is deeply flawed (incorrect name 'ThunderBlade', false claims of 'everyone' reach and 'most people' usage, and nonsensical revenue data). The score reflects the high real-world value of CodePath, heavily penalized for the low quality and reliability of the submission data.
