Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

World Fuel Services is a Fortune 500 entity with massive global reach and verifiable traction (billions in market cap), placing it firmly in the highest tier of real-world utility and scale. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, with vague claims ('everyone') and inaccurate data labeling (market cap as revenue). While the underlying business fundamentals warrant a high score, the lack of specific evidence regarding technical innovation and the poor response quality severely limit the Quality Factors (Qi), resulting in a score at the lower end of the 'Large Scale' bracket.
