Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission represents HP Inc., a global Fortune 100 technology leader. While the submission form itself was completed with minimal effort (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'), the entity's real-world utility, reach, and traction are verifiable and immense. The project scores highly on utility and traction due to its established market position, but suffers in response quality and innovation perception (legacy hardware). The final score reflects a massive, useful enterprise weighed down by a mature market position and poor submission detail.
