Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Fandom is a massive global entertainment platform with verifiable reach of 200M+ monthly uniques, placing it in the top tier of audience scale. While the submission itself was low-quality (incorrect project name 'StarForge', sassy traction claim, invalid launch date), the underlying entity is undeniably a market leader with high utility and traction. The score reflects the massive scale and proven utility, heavily discounted by the randomization factor due to the unprofessional submission data.
