Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Harbinger' (submitted with the erroneous placeholder name 'SwiftKeeper') represents Harbinger Group, a legitimate and established software engineering and eLearning company founded in 1990. External verification confirms a team size of ~850 and significant operations in the US and India, validating the project's scale despite the low-quality submission. The submission text contains hallucinatory artifacts (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audienceReach: everyone') common to a specific pattern of bot/spam entries seen in this hackathon. The score reflects the verified high utility and traction of the underlying entity, while heavily penalizing the submission's lack of specific detail and false claims.
