Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Aruba Networks (HPE) is a verified industry leader with massive global scale, justifying high scores in utility, reach, and innovation despite the low-effort submission. The project effectively solves critical enterprise networking problems. However, the submission itself ('FrostStone') provided negligible evidence and vague claims (e.g., 'marketcap: null'), resulting in significant Quality Factor penalties in the Traction and Response categories, preventing a near-perfect score.
