Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Chronosphere is a verified observability unicorn (valued ~$1.6B) with high-profile enterprise adoption (Snap, DoorDash). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional utility, real-world traction, and market timing, the submission data was of low quality (citing $17M market cap likely as a typo for $1.7B, and vague audience claims). The score reflects the elite status of the technology and business, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Traction' quality factors due to the errors in the input data.
