+586
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission identifies Compagnie Financière Tradition (CFT), a verified global interdealer broker with over $1B in annual revenue and ~7,500 employees. While the entity itself demonstrates immense scale and utility in the financial sector (justifying a high baseline score), the submission quality is exceptionally poor. It contains significant factual errors (e.g., stating market cap as 2.5M instead of ~2.5B, claiming the audience is 'everyone' for a B2B service). The final score reflects the verified high value of the business, heavily discounted by the low-quality, inaccurate data provided in the entry.
