Analysis completed on 1/28/2026

+385
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The submission represents 'RACE21', a verifiable and high-impact digital transformation initiative by Teck Resources, a major mining entity with over $10B in revenue. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, likely automated or low-effort, featuring vague claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing financial data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying entity warrants a 'Unicorn' scale score (>700), the poor response quality and lack of specific evidence in the submission necessitate a strict 0.5 Quality Factor penalty across all metrics, reducing the score to the 'Comparable Scale' range.
