Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

HTX (Home Team Science and Technology Agency) is a legitimate and critical statutory board under Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs, validated by the .gov.sg domain. The project demonstrates immense real-world utility and national-scale impact. However, the submission quality is poor, utilizing crypto-adjacent terminology (e.g., 'marketcap') for a government budget and failing to detail the specific technical stack despite the high-tech description. The score reflects the massive inherent value of the entity, heavily penalized by the lack of specific evidence and vague data entry in the submission form.
