Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Project A is a verified, top-tier operational VC firm based in Berlin with over €260M AUM (likely higher currently) and a portfolio containing multiple unicorns (WorldRemit, Kry, etc.). While the project entity itself is of high 'Real-World Utility' and has massive 'Evidence of Traction' via its portfolio, the submission quality is exceptionally poor. The submitter ('MysticSpirit') provided lazy, hyperbolic data ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone'), resulting in significant penalties to Response Quality and Quality Factors. The score reflects the immense verifiable value of the entity (scaling to the 400-700+ range) adjusted downward for the lack of specific, accurate evidence in the submission fields.
