+339
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Akuity is a legitimate, high-value Series A company ($25M+ funding) founded by the creators of Argo CD, a standard industry tool. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacking detail. The score reflects the strong underlying business and technical merit, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality and lack of provided evidence.
