Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents Samsara (NYSE: IOT), a well-established public company with significant real-world utility in the IoT and logistics sectors. While the entity itself demonstrates exceptional scale, revenue, and market dominance (fitting the 700+ calibration tier), the specific submission provided is of low quality. It contains factual errors regarding revenue (listing 2.5M vs actual ~$28B market cap) and audience ('everyone' vs B2B), and provides generic descriptions. Consequently, the score reflects the high intrinsic value of the project but is heavily penalized by Quality Factors due to the poor submission data.
