Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The submission represents Meta (formerly Facebook), a global technology titan with unparalleled audience reach (>3B users) and dominant market positioning. While the submission form itself was completed with minimal effort (low response quality), the verifiable reality of the project's scale, revenue ($1T+ market cap), and technical influence (React, PyTorch, Oculus) warrants a top-tier score. The score is capped only by market saturation and the low quality of the specific entry.
