Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project represents GM Financial, a verified major subsidiary of General Motors with significant global scale, revenue, and workforce (9,000+ employees). While the submission text is low-effort (e.g., vague claims like 'everyone' and unstructured revenue data), the verifiable real-world utility and market position of the entity drive a high score. The score is calibrated for a large-scale enterprise (400–700 range) but penalized for poor response quality.
