+671
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission describes Sprint Corporation, a historical telecommunications giant with massive scale, verifiable revenue ($37B+), and nationwide infrastructure. While the project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Traction due to its status as a former Fortune 100 company, the score is impacted by the entity's defunct status (merged with T-Mobile in 2020) and the low quality of the submission inputs (e.g., 'BlazeBlade', vague 'everyone' claims). The high score reflects the sheer magnitude of the asset described, despite the poor presentation.
