Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents S&P Global Market Intelligence, a Tier-1 financial data provider with immense, verifiable real-world utility and traction. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring vague claims ('everyone', 'most people'), incorrect data formatting (market cap listed as ~1B vs actual ~160B), and zero technical detail. The score reflects the massive verifiable scale of the entity (high base scores), significantly penalized by the low quality factors (Qi) resulting from the lazy application.
