Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission describes TreeHouse Foods, a verifiable multi-billion dollar public company (NYSE: THS) with massive scale in private label food manufacturing. While the submission quality is extremely low (vague claims, incorrect project name 'SwiftStone', minimal details), the entity itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, verifiable revenue (~$3.4B), and widespread reach across North America. The score reflects the massive proven value of the business entity, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission text and the lack of specific evidence for the 'climatetech' and 'film' technology claims.
