Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Deliveroo is a major, publicly traded food delivery platform with established global infrastructure, millions of users, and significant revenue, placing it in the highest tier of real-world utility and traction. However, the submission itself was of low quality, citing 'space-technology' and providing vague answers ('most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'). Despite the lazy submission, the verifiable external reality of the project dictates a high score, adjusted slightly downward for the poor response quality and lack of specific evidence provided by the submitter.
