Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents Trellix, a major global cybersecurity company formed from the merger of McAfee Enterprise and FireEye, possessing immense real-world utility and scale. However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing vague claims ('most people'), generic technical details ('Computer Software'), and inaccurate revenue figures ('17000000' marketcap vs actual multi-billion valuation). The score reflects the undeniable high value and verified traction of the entity (via URL), heavily penalized by the low quality and reliability of the specific submission data.
