Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project corresponds to 'The Shyft Group' (NASDAQ: SHYF), a major North American specialty vehicle manufacturer (approx. $1B revenue), verified via the 'onshyft.com' domain. While the underlying entity has massive real-world utility and traction, the submission itself is of very low quality: it lists Market Cap ($439M) as revenue, significantly underreports team size (80 vs ~3,000), and uses vague descriptions ('everyone', 'manufacturing'). The score reflects the high value of the verified business, moderately penalized for the inaccuracy and unprofessionalism of the specific entry.
