Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Paramount Pictures, a legacy entertainment conglomerate with massive global reach and undisputed real-world utility. While the entity itself fits the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier (suggesting a score of 400-700+), the submission quality is notably low, relying on copy-pasted marketing text and vague metrics (e.g., audience reach: 'everyone'). Consequently, while the Utility, Reach, and Traction scores are maximized based on public knowledge, the Quality Factors and Response Quality score are penalized to reflect the lack of specific evidence and effort in the application.
