Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Rhombus Power is a highly established Artificial Intelligence company with significant traction in the Defense and National Security sectors. Despite the low-quality submission (claiming 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people' have used it), external verification confirms exceptional real-world utility and traction. The company holds a $200M contract ceiling with the US Air Force (over $146M obligated) and employs nearly 200 people. They are a critical player in the AI/Defense space, justifying a top-tier score despite the poor form inputs.
