Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Walker Sands is a well-established, high-revenue B2B marketing and PR agency (est. ~$60M revenue, 350+ employees) that significantly outperforms the calibration baseline in scale and traction. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing factual inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'most people' use the product) and confusing metrics ('marketcap' vs revenue). While the business is highly useful and verified as a major player in its sector, the lack of proprietary technology innovation (being a service business) and the poor response quality cap the potential score.
