Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission represents Credit Suisse (acquired by UBS), a massive global financial institution. While the real-world utility and historical traction are undeniably high (trillions in assets, global reach), the submission itself is of low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and formatting errors. The score reflects the massive scale of the entity, penalized significantly for the 'failed' status of the brand (acquisition due to collapse) and the lack of specific technical innovation or effort in the project entry.
