Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Erie Insurance Group is a Fortune 500 entity with massive, verifiable real-world utility and traction ($8B+ revenue), which drives a high baseline score. However, the project submission itself was low-quality, relying on hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing financial data ('marketcap: null'). Consequently, Quality Factors (Qi) were reduced to reflect the poor evidence provided, preventing an even higher score typical of a company this size.
