Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The Washington Examiner is a well-established national media brand (est. 2006) with significant team size (350 employees) and verified reach, justifying a high baseline score comparable to other major media outlets. However, the submission itself is of low quality, featuring vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and confused metrics ('marketcap' likely referring to revenue or views). Despite the poor entry data, the verifiable existence, scale, and utility of the platform drive the score into the 'Large Scale' category (400–700), adjusted downward for the lack of specific, verifiable evidence provided in the submission text.
