Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Exxon Mobil is a legacy industrial giant with undeniable global utility and traction, fitting the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier (400-700). While the submission itself was sparse and lacked effort (resulting in a low Response Quality score), the objective reality of the company's market capitalization ($491B+), global reach, and essential role in energy infrastructure drives the score high. The project is not a standard tech startup but a massive established corporation, ensuring maximum scores in Reach and Traction, though penalized slightly for a lack of specific innovation details in the submission text.
