Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

DX (getdx.com) is a premier developer productivity platform, notably acquired by Atlassian for approximately $1B in 2025, validating its massive success. While the submission itself was low-quality (vague claims like 'most people', generic persona), the provided market cap figure was accurate and verifiable. The project scores exceptionally high on Utility, Innovation (research-backed frameworks), and Traction due to its unicorn status, despite the poor effort in the submission text.
