Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Contentrain is a legitimate, seed-funded ($190k) Git-based Headless CMS with over 1,000 users and a verifiable presence in the Jamstack ecosystem. However, the project submission itself is of extremely poor quality, featuring a pseudonym ('ShadowHunter'), false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), and nonsensical technology tags ('leadership'). While the software has real-world utility and a functioning business model (Tiered SaaS pricing), the submission fails to provide credible evidence, resulting in a score that reflects the product's existence but heavily penalizes the lack of professional input.
