Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

YOC is a verified, publicly traded technology company (Deutsche Börse Prime Standard) with significant history (est. 2001) and scale (750+ employees, ~$75M+ Cap). The project 'YOC' (VIS.X platform) demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction in the programmatic advertising sector. While the submission response itself was low-effort (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), the underlying entity's verifiable market position, revenue, and tenure justify a high score significantly above the baseline. The score reflects a mature, large-scale enterprise rather than a speculative startup.
