Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Facets.cloud is a legitimate, venture-backed DevOps platform (raised $4M Seed from 3one4 Capital) with a team of ~35-46 employees and enterprise clients like Capillary and MPL. However, the project submission itself was extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and lazy data entry. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and technology discovered via external verification, significantly penalized by the poor response quality and lack of substantiated evidence in the submission.
