Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), a global institution with verifiable massive scale (£1.1T+ AUM) and high real-world utility in pensions and asset management. However, the submission quality is notably poor: the claimed 'marketcap' of 300,000,000 is erroneous (L&G is valued in the billions), the traction claim is colloquial ('most people'), and the submitter alias 'DeepShade' lacks professional credibility. Despite these submission flaws, the underlying entity's verifiable scale and utility warrant a high score in the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier, though penalized for the low-effort response.
