Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The submission represents DoorDash, a publicly traded logistics platform with undeniable market dominance ($50B+ Market Cap) and massive scale (30M+ users). While the project itself scores nearly perfectly on utility, reach, and traction due to its status as an industry leader, the submission quality is notably poor ('SilentBlade', vague descriptions, outdated/inflated market cap data). The score reflects the immense real-world value of the entity while applying a randomization penalty for the low-effort submission.
