Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Headquarters' (HQ.xyz) is a verified, high-utility Web3 financial operations platform acquired by Gnosis for ~$15M in May 2025. While the submission itself is of very poor quality (lazy descriptions, false 'everyone' audience claim, misuse of revenue field for acquisition price), the underlying project demonstrates significant traction ($800M+ processed, $5M raised previously). The score is heavily buoyed by verified external traction and utility, despite the low-effort submission.
