Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a major global brand (McDonald's Japan) with undeniable real-world utility and reach. However, the submission quality is extremely low, lacking specific technical details, providing inaccurate or confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000'), and offering vague claims of traction ('most people have used my product'). While the entity is verified as high-scale, the Proof of Usefulness methodology heavily penalizes the lack of concrete evidence, technical innovation, and professional detail in the application itself.
