Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Viridis Ag is a verifiable, large-scale corporate farming operation (120k hectares) with significant real-world utility and asset backing, placing it in the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier despite the low-quality submission. While the project demonstrates immense traction through physical assets and operational scale ($75M+ context), the submission itself is poor (vague 'everyone' claims, 'StarFang' alias), resulting in penalties for Response Quality and Innovation evidence. The score reflects the high utility and traction of the underlying business entity, adjusted for the lack of specific technical innovation details provided in the text.
