Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Stability AI is a category-defining entity in the Generative AI space, responsible for Stable Diffusion, which boasts over 260 million downloads and massive cultural impact. However, the submission itself is of low quality ('FrostHeart', 'most people have used my product'), and the financial data provided ('marketcap: 75000000') appears to be a confusion of revenue figures or a typo, as the company's valuation has historically been in the billions (though recently volatile). The score reflects the immense utility and reach of the technology (Calibration: >700 for massive scale), tempered by the unprofessional submission and well-documented external concerns regarding business sustainability.
