Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

The submission represents Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits (SWS), the largest wine and spirits distributor in the United States with verifiable revenues exceeding $26B. While the submission response quality is extremely low (lacking technical details, vague descriptions, and placeholder metrics), the entity's undeniable real-world utility, massive audience reach, and market dominance drive a high score. The project is penalized heavily for lack of technical innovation evidence and poor submission effort.
