Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Newfold Digital is a verified industry giant (parent of Bluehost, HostGator, etc.) with massive scale, serving ~7 million customers. While the project possesses top-tier real-world utility and verified traction well above the calibration threshold, the submission itself was low-effort, utilizing placeholder-like financial data and vague descriptors. The score reflects the immense verifiable value and market dominance, penalized slightly for the lack of specific insight or technical innovation detailed in the entry.
