Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The Philadelphia Union is a well-established Major League Soccer franchise with significant real-world scale, revenue, and audience reach far exceeding the submission's modest claims. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality: it relies on generic responses ('everyone', 'Sports'), provides factually incorrect financial data ('$17M marketcap' is significantly undervalued), and lacks any technical detail. While the entity's intrinsic value drives a high baseline score, the 'Vague or unsupported claims' Quality Factor (0.5) severely penalizes the final result, bringing a potential 700+ score down to the 350 range.
