Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Nike is an undeniable market leader with massive global traction, verifying the project's utility and reach at the highest scale. The submission data (revenue/market cap, team size) confirms 'unicorn' plus status (Fortune 100 scale). However, the response quality is exceptionally low, with vague descriptions ('everyone', 'most people') and a lack of specific technical detail. Despite the lazy submission, the verifiable real-world impact and domination of the sportswear market drive a high Proof of Usefulness score. The evaluation is capped slightly by the lack of insight into specific 'project' details (vs the company as a whole) and the poor response effort.
