Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

XPRIZE is a globally recognized organization with immense real-world utility and verified historical traction ($300M+ awarded). However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry ('marketcap: null'). While the entity's intrinsic value drives the score high (consistent with the 'Much larger scale' calibration bucket), the poor response quality and inaccurate traction claims in the submission form incurred significant penalties to the Quality Factors and Randomization.
