Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The submission appears to be for 'Slalom Consulting' (based on the description, URL, and email domain) but lists the project name as 'BlazeForge' (possibly a user error or internal tool). While Slalom is a verified global consultancy with >$3B annual revenue and ~12,000 employees, the submission itself is of very low quality—claiming 'everyone' as the audience and providing incorrect revenue metrics ('marketcap 750M'). The score reflects Slalom's high real-world utility and verified market position, heavily penalized for inaccurate claims and poor submission quality.
