Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Code BGP is a verified, high-value project acquired by Cisco (ThousandEyes) in August 2023, validating its critical utility in BGP monitoring and security. While the underlying technology (based on ARTEMIS) and market success are exceptional, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing data. The score reflects the project's verified real-world success, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality.
