New York Life Insurance Company

Analysis completed on 1/24/2026

+457
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission represents New York Life, a Fortune 100 insurer with immense historical traction (founded 1845) and verified market scale. However, the submission quality is notably poor, relying on hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and generic descriptions rather than specific technical project details. The score reflects the massive undeniable utility and reach of the entity, heavily penalized for lack of specific innovation evidence and a low-effort submission.
