Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'DeepBlade' (URL: openfin.co) is identified as OpenFin, a major enterprise operating system for the financial industry. While the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and providing a likely incorrect project name and generic email), the underlying entity at the provided URL is a 'Unicorn-status' company with confirmed adoption by 1,500+ buy-side and sell-side firms and estimated revenues exceeding $20M+. The score reflects the massive real-world utility and verified traction of OpenFin, heavily penalized in the Response Quality and Audience Reach Quality Factor due to the poor and hyperbolic submission data.
