Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission describes General Mills, a massive Fortune 500 food conglomerate. While the entity has undeniable real-world utility, global reach, and immense financial traction ($37B+ Market Cap), the submission itself is of low quality (vague claims, confusing 'StarGale' project name, incorrect revenue field usage). As a technology project evaluation, it scores poorly on innovation, but the sheer scale of the underlying business forces a high baseline score. The score is penalized for lack of specific technical novelty and submission effort.
