+685
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

StoneX Group Inc. is a massive, publicly traded Fortune 100 financial services firm with significant global infrastructure. The project submission itself, however, is of low quality, featuring exaggerated user claims ('everyone') and inaccurate data ('17000000' market cap vs actual multi-billion valuation). Despite the poor submission effort, the verifiable real-world utility and traction of the underlying entity are exceptionally high, warranting a score in the 'Much Larger Scale' range, albeit penalized for the lack of technical detail and lazy input.
