Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

SEI (SEIC) is a NASDAQ-listed financial technology giant managing approximately $1.6 trillion in assets, placing it significantly above the calibration baseline for scale and traction. While the real-world utility and market traction are indisputable (scoring near maximum), the submission quality itself was poor, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and erratic data entry. The score reflects the massive verifiable entity value, dampened slightly by the lack of specific technical details and low-effort submission.
