Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Tesla, Inc., a global leader in EV and clean energy. While the project entity itself possesses exceptional real-world utility, innovation, and reach (fitting the 'Much larger scale' calibration bucket), the submission quality is notably poor—featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect field usage (Market Cap as Revenue), and sparse detail. The score reflects the undeniable high-value reality of the business, penalized significantly in the 'Response Quality' and 'Traction' evidence quality metrics due to the low-effort input.
