Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Igalia is a highly influential open-source consultancy with verifiable critical impact on the global web ecosystem (Chromium, WebKit, Gecko). While the submission quality was low (vague claims, confusing 'marketcap' revenue field), independent verification confirms they are a top-tier entity with 100+ engineers and massive indirect reach. The project fundamentals are elite, far exceeding the 'HackerNoon' calibration baseline, though the poor response quality dampened the final score slightly.
