Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents Discovery Inc., a verifiable global media giant with massive audience reach and utility. However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, featuring vague claims ('everyone'), invalid data fields ('marketcap: null'), and generic tags. While the entity's scale and traction sustain a high baseline score (placing it in the 'Much larger scale' tier), the lack of technical detail and effort in the application incurs significant penalties, keeping the score at the lower end of the enterprise range.
