+576
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Esker is a legitimate, publicly traded entity (Euronext: ALESK) with substantial revenue (~$190M USD) and global market presence, far exceeding the submission's inaccurate data. While the underlying business has high utility and verifiable traction, the submission itself contained significant errors (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience, inaccurate market cap/revenue figures, and hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product'). The final score rewards the actual business value while applying heavy penalties for the low-quality, unreliable submission data.
