Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'SwiftStorm' is identified as Miko (Miko.ai), a highly successful consumer robotics company with ~$44M in annual revenue and over $100M in venture funding (Series D). While the submission data was of extremely poor quality (using a fake name, hyperbolic claims like 'audienceReach: everyone', and missing financial data), the actual entity is a market leader in AI educational companions. The score reflects the massive real-world scale and traction of Miko, heavily penalized by the lack of effort in the specific submission.
