Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Intuit, a global fintech giant (market cap ~$190B), ensuring maximum scores for utility, reach, and traction. However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing a conflicting project name ('WhisperForge'), hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people'), and minimal descriptive effort. The evaluation assumes the entity is Intuit based on the URL and description, but applies significant penalties to Response Quality and the Randomization Factor due to the conflicting data and lack of specific metrics.
