Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project is identified as Wolfram Research, a foundational computation and software company (established 1987). While the real-world utility, innovation, and reach are exceptional (powering global academic and scientific computation), the submission itself is low-effort with vague claims ('everyone', 'most people'). The score reflects the massive verifiable inherent value of the Wolfram ecosystem, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the specific evidence provided in this form.

Description
Founded by Stephen Wolfram in 1987, Wolfram Research is one of the world's most respected computer, web, and cloud software companies—as well as a powerhouse of scientific and technical innovation. As pioneers in computation and computational knowledge, we have pursued a long-term vision to develop the science, technology, and tools to make computation an ever-more-potent force in today's and tomorrow's world. Over the course of more than a quarter of a century, we have progressively built an unprecedented base of technology that now makes possible our broad portfolio of innovative products. At the center is the revolutionary Wolfram Language, which defines a unique convergence of computation and knowledge.
