Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

sFOX is a highly established institutional crypto prime dealer with verified transaction volumes exceeding $600B and backing from Y Combinator. Despite the project's massive real-world scale and utility, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience is 'everyone'). The score reflects the high intrinsic value of the business, significantly penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission text.
