Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents Entrust/Onfido, a major global identity verification entity with high real-world utility and massive reach. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality (generic descriptions, hyperbole like 'everyone', and joke metrics for revenue). The score reflects the undeniable high value of the underlying technology and business scale, significantly discounted by the lack of effort and verifiable details provided in the submission text.
