Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Sure is a significant, verified InsurTech player with a confirmed valuation of ~$550M and substantial B2B scale (500+ employees), positioning it well above the calibration baseline. However, the submission itself was low-effort, utilizing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') which necessitated Quality Factor penalties. The high score reflects the verifiable real-world utility and market traction of the entity, despite the poor quality of the application text.
