Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Project is a verified 'Active Metadata' platform unicorn (Series C, $750M valuation). Despite a low-quality submission (incorrect tags like 'banking', hyperbolic claims 'most people'), external verification confirms Atlan is a market leader with ~400+ employees, ~$100M estimated revenue, and global enterprise adoption (Unilever, Nasdaq, etc.). Score reflects high real-world utility and verified traction, scaled to the 'Much Larger Scale' calibration tier, with minor penalties for the poor submission quality.
