Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents Phoenix Equity Partners, a verifiable and established UK private equity firm (founded 2001) with over £900M in assets under management and a team of ~45-125 professionals. While the submission itself is of extremely low quality (containing vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people' which negatively impact the Response Quality and Audience Reach precision), the entity's actual real-world utility and traction are exceptionally high. The score reflects the firm's significant market scale (400-700 calibration range) and longevity, balanced against the lack of technical innovation in the submission and the poor quality of the provided data.
