Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Bitnami' is a widely recognized, industry-standard infrastructure provider with massive verified global traction and utility, acquired by VMware. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('most people have used my product'), odd tags ('construction'), and lazy descriptions. Despite the poor submission effort, the underlying project's real-world value places it in the top tier of the 'Much larger scale' calibration category (400–700+). The score reflects the massive utility and reach of Bitnami, penalized slightly by the lack of direct evidence provided in this specific form.
