Proof of Usefulness Report

Prudential Financial

Analysis completed on 1/24/2026

+704
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission describes Prudential Financial, a Fortune 500 legacy institution, rather than a specific technology project named 'DeepStorm'. While the entity possesses immense real-world utility, global reach, and verifiable traction (fitting the 400-700+ calibration for large scale), the submission quality is exceptionally low. The 'DeepStorm' project is undefined, and the technical innovation section is negligible ('Insurance'). The score reflects the massive established value of Prudential, heavily penalized for the lack of specific project details and low-effort input.
