Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents Hyster-Yale Group, a legitimate, publicly traded global leader in materials handling and lift trucks (NYSE: HY) with a market cap of ~$650M+ and billions in revenue. The submission itself ('IronFang') is of extremely low quality, containing inaccurate data (e.g., claiming 75M market cap, 'everyone' as audience) and unprofessional evidence ('most people have used my product'). However, independent verification confirms the immense real-world utility, global infrastructure, and established traction of the entity. The score reflects the high value of the business itself, despite the poor quality of the submission.
