Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project represents a major UK government body (UKGI) with verifiable massive scale, significant assets under management, and high real-world utility. However, the submission itself is of low quality (user 'ShadowClaw', vague claims like 'everyone'), and the project is a government function rather than a technology product. The score reflects the organization's immense established traction and utility, heavily penalized by the lack of technical innovation and the poor quality of the provided evidence.
