Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project describes Intrinsic Financial Services (now Quilter Financial Planning), a historically verified and massive UK financial network with £250M+ turnover (2015). However, the submission itself is of low quality, featuring hyperbolic placeholders ('most people have used my product', 'audienceReach: everyone') and dated descriptions. The score reflects the high intrinsic utility and verified traction of the entity, significantly penalized by the lack of technical innovation detail (generic 'Financial Services') and the poor quality of the submission evidence.
