Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Qurate Retail (QVC, HSN), a massive publicly traded entity, verified by the domain 'libertyinteractive.com' and team size (20k+). While the entity's real-world scale warrants a high score (billions in revenue, millions of users), the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hallucinated tags ('space-technology'), vague evidence ('most people have used my product'), and unprofessional inputs ('SwiftClaw'). The score reflects the massive undeniable traction of the business, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality and lack of specific technical innovation details.
