+664
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents EFI (Electronics For Imaging), a major established technology company with verifiable large-scale operations (7,500+ employees, historic $1B+ revenue). While the project itself possesses immense real-world utility and traction, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lazy data entry. The score reflects the undeniable massive scale and utility of the entity, significantly penalized by the lack of specific evidence and professionalism in the submission.
