Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents a globally dominant platform (Facebook/Meta) with undeniable real-world utility and reach. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring a casual username ('BlazeClaw'), vague claims ('most people'), and missing data fields. While public knowledge validates the project's massive scale, the score is significantly penalized by low Quality Factors (Qi) in Traction, Innovation, and Response Quality due to the lack of specific evidence provided in the submission itself. The final score reflects a balance between the entity's immense actual value and the subpar submission effort.
