Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Project identified as Gatsby (GatsbyJS), a widely adopted open-source framework acquired by Netlify. Despite the submission's extremely poor quality (vague claims like 'everyone', incorrect revenue data, lack of metrics), the project itself has verified high-scale real-world utility and massive developer traction. The score reflects the project's actual industry standing (Comparable to 400-700+ tier) but is penalized by a low Quality Factor due to the lazy and unsupported submission details.
