Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Despite a low-quality submission containing lazy and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), independent verification confirms AxonIQ is a significant, established technology company. The project is a leader in the Java Event-Driven Architecture space (CQRS/Event Sourcing) with substantial traction: ~$19M in funding, estimated $5M+ annual revenue, and adoption by major enterprises like Barclays and Toyota. The discrepancy between the high-value reality and the poor submission is reflected in a heavily penalized Response Quality score, but the strong fundamentals drive a high overall PoU score.
