Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Method is a high-profile, established digital design consultancy acquired by GlobalLogic (Hitachi). With a 25-year history and ~750 employees, it operates at a significantly larger scale than the baseline ($2M revenue), justifying a high score. However, the submission quality was poor (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), which triggered Quality Factor penalties, keeping the score from reaching the 800+ range reserved for perfectly presented enterprise giants.
