Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Marriott International' represents a massive, established global hospitality brand with verifiable traction (market cap ~$94B) and universal utility. While the submission itself lacks detail and appears to be a low-effort entry ('most people have used my product'), the underlying entity's scale, reach, and utility are undeniable and publicly verifiable. The evaluation balances the immense real-world value of the hotel network against the poor quality of the submission text. The score reflects a 'Much larger scale' entity, penalized slightly for the lack of specific technical evidence provided in the entry.
