Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Sage is a massive, verifiable global entity (FTSE 100) with undisputed real-world utility and traction. However, the submission quality is exceptionally low ('GoldenClaw' alias, vague 'everyone' claims, lack of specific data). The score reflects the massive verifiable scale of the project, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of detailed evidence in the submission itself. A high-effort submission for this entity would likely score 700+.
