Shinsegae Inc.

Analysis completed on 2/16/2026

+560
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission appears to represent Shinsegae International (or its IT subsidiary Shinsegae I&C), a major South Korean conglomerate with verifiable massive scale, revenue, and market presence. While the entity itself has high real-world utility and traction, the submission quality is extremely poor, lacking specific details on the 'ThunderStone' project or technical innovations. The score reflects the undeniable weight of the verified business entity (Shinsegae) while penalizing the lack of specific project evidence and low-effort response.
