Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

Flosum is a verified market leader in Salesforce DevOps with estimated $25M-$50M+ revenue and 200+ employees, far exceeding the 'HackerNoon' calibration baseline. However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrably false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the project's high real-world utility and massive verifiable traction, heavily penalized by Quality Factors due to the unsupported and inaccurate assertions in the input data.
