Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents Walmart Inc., a global retail entity with undeniable real-world utility and traction ($681B revenue, 2.1M associates). The project scores exceptionally high on Utility, Reach, and Traction due to its established market dominance. However, the submission quality is low, characterized by the odd project name 'DeepSpirit', listing 'venture-capital' as the sole technology, and lazy inputs for audience reach. Consequently, Technical Innovation and Response Quality metrics are heavily penalized, preventing the score from reaching the theoretical maximum for a company of this scale.
