Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents UNED, Spain's largest public distance university, indicating massive verifiable utility, reach, and traction (established 1972, ~200k students). However, the submission quality is extremely poor (spam-like descriptions, false claims of 'marketcap', lack of technical detail). The score reflects the immense value of the institution itself, severely penalized by the lack of specific project details and the low quality of the response.
