Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Catchpoint is a verifiable market leader in Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM), evidenced by its recent acquisition by LogicMonitor for >$250M (Dec 2025) and a workforce of ~300 employees. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction with high-profile enterprise clients. However, the submission itself was notably poor, relying on vague hyperbole ('most people have used my product') rather than specific metrics. The score reflects the company's proven substantial scale (fitting the 400-700+ calibration tier) while penalizing the low-effort response quality.
