+572
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission represents HESTA, a major Australian industry superannuation fund with over $70B AUD in assets and 1 million+ members. While the entity's real-world utility and reach are undeniable and massive, the submission itself is of extremely low quality. Key data points are incorrect (e.g., stating a $2.5M market cap for a multi-billion dollar fund) or lazy (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The 'GoldenWing' name is unexplained and appears to be a user error. The final score is buoyed significantly by the verifiable institutional scale of the domain provided, but heavily penalized for poor evidence and response quality.
