Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Harbour.Space University is a verified, high-quality educational institution with significant real-world traction, including ~$15M estimated annual revenue and a world-champion competitive programming team (ICPC Gold 2024). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people have used my product') and missing data. The score balances the entity's proven high utility and innovation with severe penalties for the submission's lack of credible evidence and accuracy.
