Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The submission represents Daiwa Capital Markets, a major established investment bank subsidiary (Daiwa Securities Group). While the entity has significant real-world utility, massive scale, and verifiable traction dating back to 1964, the submission quality is extremely poor. It contains typos ('Inestment'), demonstrably false audience claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product'), and inaccurate financial metrics ($75M market cap vs actual multi-billion valuation). The score acknowledges the verified high-value status of the entity ('Calibration: Much larger scale') but applies heavy penalties for the low-quality, inaccurate response data.
