Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) is a verified industry titan in the HCM/HR SaaS space with massive reach (80,000+ organizations) and verified market leadership (merger of Ultimate Software and Kronos). While the project itself represents high real-world utility and verified traction, the specific submission provided is of low quality (generic copy-paste description, 'BlazeShade' pseudonym, placeholder revenue data). The score reflects the massive scale and utility of the entity, slightly penalized by the lack of specific, novel evidence in the submission text itself.
