Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The submission represents United Technologies Corporation (UTC), a massive legacy conglomerate (now RTX Corp). While the real-world utility, reach, and historical traction of the entity are indisputably elite (Fortune 100 scale), the submission itself is of very low quality, citing 'everyone' as the audience and providing no specific metrics or current data. The score reflects the immense intrinsic value of the legacy aerospace/building technologies, heavily penalized (50% reduction via Quality Factors) for the lack of verifiable current evidence and the fact that the specific entity 'UTC' is no longer an independent active business.
