Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

Chargent is a highly established, top-rated Salesforce application (launched 2008) with verifiable strong traction (500+ AppExchange reviews, millions of end-users). However, the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking data. The high score reflects the verifiable external reality of the business's success and utility, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors for the lazy submission.
