Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Checkly is a verified, high-utility DevOps platform with significant market presence, evidenced by its team size (125) and known industry adoption (Series A funding, usage by Vercel/1Password). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and vague metrics ('Internet' as technology). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and technical utility, heavily penalized by low quality factors due to the submitter's lack of verifiable evidence and professional detail.
