Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Mizuho' represents Mizuho Financial Group, a major global financial institution. While the submission itself is of low quality—containing generic marketing copy, hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), and inaccurate financial metrics—the entity is verifiable as a top-tier bank with massive real-world utility, global reach, and significant traction. The score is boosted heavily by the verifiable scale of the organization ($20B+ revenue, 50k+ employees) but penalized for the lack of specific technical innovation details and the poor quality of the submission data.

Description
This is not your typical financial institution. It’s our people who make us a cut above. Here, every person is respected because of their differences, not in spite of them. We pride ourselves on a culture of purpose, passion and compassion. At Mizuho, we provide the stability of an international industry leader with the career trajectory of a growing business. Our steady, strategic growth gives our people at all levels rewarding degrees of responsibility and a richer work experience than a boutique firm or an established giant could offer alone. Working for Mizuho opens doors not just to a rewarding career with excellent prospects, but to lasting friendships with colleagues from diverse cultures. It’s the local expertise of our employees that makes our global network so powerful. By collaborating with colleagues and clients who have your same ambition, you can amplify your sphere of influence and base of knowledge as part of one of the largest—and growing—banks in the world. We’re all global citizens, and that’s why our company feels compelled to make an impact through more than just drawing up deals. We prove that it’s possible to do well and do good. We do right by our clients, our community and each other.
