Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Westin Hotels & Resorts is a massive, established global hospitality brand with verifiable traction dating back to 1981 and a footprint of 220+ properties. While the project has immense real-world utility and audience reach, the submission itself was low-quality, providing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') rather than specific data. However, the sheer scale of the entity (verified via the provided URL) drives a high score. The project scores low on technical innovation as it is a service-based business, not a technology product, but compensates with overwhelming market presence.
