Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

CloudEagle is a verified Y Combinator (W22) company with significant market traction (estimated $14M+ revenue, ~100 employees) and high utility in the SaaS management space. Despite the submission containing poor-quality, lazy, or potentially automated responses (e.g., 'audienceReach: everyone', 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms the project's legitimacy, strong customer base (e.g., RingCentral), and funding status. The score reflects the high value of the underlying business, penalized slightly for the low-effort submission.
