Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission for 'Direktiv' is of extremely low quality, containing false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and vague descriptions. However, independent verification confirms that Direktiv is a legitimate open-source serverless workflow orchestration engine with moderate GitHub traction (~490 stars). Crucially, the project (Direktiv.io Inc) was acquired by ArchTIS in 2025 for ~$750k USD, providing strong evidence of real-world utility and value despite the poor submission. The score reflects the legitimate technical value and exit event, heavily penalized by the lack of effort and accuracy in the user's input.
