Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Mindshare is a verifiable, established global media agency (part of WPP) with significant scale (10,000+ employees, 116 offices) and market dominance. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring slang ('most people have used my product'), confused financial metrics (market cap claim for a subsidiary), and sparse details. The score reflects the massive real-world utility and reach of the actual entity, heavily penalized by the low-quality input and lack of specific technical or traction evidence in the submission itself.
