Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'Apptio' is a verified, major enterprise software company (acquired by IBM for $4.6B) specializing in Technology Business Management (TBM). While the underlying entity has immense real-world utility and proven traction, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false audience claims ('everyone') and missing descriptions. The score reflects the massive scale and established success of Apptio, significantly penalized for the lack of effort and accuracy in the submission data.
