Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Guesswork Television is a highly established, award-winning production powerhouse (Emmy, AACTA) with massive global reach via Netflix and Amazon Prime (e.g., 'Nanette', 'Deadloch'). While the project itself has exceptional utility, traction, and reach, the specific submission received was low-effort (e.g., 'all time marketcap: 500000', vague user claims), resulting in a heavily penalized Response Quality score. However, external verification confirms the entity operates at a scale significantly larger than the input suggests, warranting a high final score comparable to major media brands.
