Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Eastman Chemical is a verified Fortune 500 entity with massive real-world utility, global reach, and $9B+ in verifiable annual revenue. While the project submission itself is low-effort and vague (e.g., generic claims, confusing revenue metrics), external verification confirms the company's status as a critical industrial incumbent. The project scores exceptionally high on Utility, Reach, and Traction due to its established market position, but suffers significantly in Response Quality and Technical Innovation (relative to modern software tech) due to the legacy nature of the business and the poor quality of the input data.
