Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Baselime is a high-utility serverless observability platform that was acquired by Cloudflare in April 2024, demonstrating exceptional proof of usefulness and market validation. While the submission itself contained poor quality data (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and citing outdated valuation figures), the actual project is a verified success with significant technical innovation (Observability as Code) and perfect market timing. The low quality of the submission heavily penalized the Response Quality score, but the verifiable acquisition status drove the Traction and Utility scores high.
