+653
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents The Travelers Companies, Inc., a Fortune 500 insurance giant established in 1853 with ~34,000 employees. While the entity's real-world utility, scale, and market traction are undeniable (placing it in the highest tier of verifiability), the submission itself is low-effort. It fails to provide specific revenue figures ('marketcap: null'), lists generic terms like 'leadership' as technologies, and relies on the brand's fame rather than providing evidence. The score reflects the massive verifiable value of the business, significantly penalized by the poor quality of the project input data.
