Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Dover Corporation is a verified S&P 500 industrial conglomerate with immense real-world utility, global reach, and a multi-billion dollar market cap, far exceeding the scale of typical project submissions. However, the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people'), missing critical data (market cap listed as null), and lacking specific evidence of the 'IronKeeper' project's role within the wider organization. The score is heavily buoyed by the undeniable verified traction of the parent entity, but penalized significantly for the poor quality and vagueness of the application text.
