Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Harley-Davidson is a globally recognized, established legacy brand with verified massive scale (multi-billion dollar revenue, thousands of employees). While the project itself possesses immense traction and utility, the specific submission provided was of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing financial data. However, due to the verifiable public status of the entity, the Proof of Usefulness score reflects its real-world dominance, penalized slightly for the lack of specific evidence in the application and current market timing challenges (aging demographics, EV transition).
