Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

AtScale is a verified industry leader in the Data/BI semantic layer space with significant funding (~$130M) and enterprise adoption (JPMC, Wells Fargo). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing lazy and hyperbolic claims (e.g., audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the project's high real-world value and established market position, significantly penalized by the lack of specific evidence and professionalism in the submission data.
