Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents WP Engine, a verified industry unicorn with ~$400M+ annual revenue and massive market reach. However, the submission data itself is of extremely low quality, containing false financials ($2.5M vs Billions) and vague descriptions. The score reflects the high verified utility and traction of the entity, penalized significantly by the low credibility of the specific submission claims.
