Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Red River is a well-established, large-scale technology integrator (founded 1995, ~3000 employees) serving government and enterprise sectors. While the project submission itself contains low-quality, hyperbolic data (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as audience and nonsensical market cap figures), the underlying entity is verifiable and highly substantial. The score reflects the massive real-world utility and traction of the actual company, penalized significantly in the Quality and Innovation categories due to the poor submission effort and the nature of the business (integration/reselling vs. pure R&D).
