Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

U-Tad is a legitimate, established university center for digital arts and technology in Spain (founded 2011). While the real-world utility and organizational scale (750 staff) are significant, the submission itself is of very poor quality, featuring exaggerated claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people' traction) and non-standard revenue metrics. The score reflects the high intrinsic value of the institution, heavily penalized for the lack of verifiable evidence and professionalism in the application.
