Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

DocuSign is an established industry leader with massive global reach and verifiable real-world utility, positioning it in the highest tier of validation. However, the specific submission provided was low-effort, lacking specific active user data or technical detail ('Computer Software'), and relying entirely on the brand's public reputation. The score reflects the undeniable market dominance and traction of the entity (Market Cap >$10B, 1B+ users) while applying minor penalties for the quality of the response data provided.
