Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Aras Corporation is a major, established player in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) space with significant enterprise traction (clients like Airbus, Microsoft, Honda). While the project itself has immense real-world utility and verified large-scale adoption (~$100M+ estimated revenue, 600+ employees), the submission quality was extremely poor. Claims such as 'audience reach: everyone' and 'most people have used my product' are inaccurate exaggerations for a B2B platform. The score reflects the high value and verified traction of the business, heavily discounted by the lack of precision and effort in the submission data.
