Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Testkube' (incubated by Kubeshop) is a legitimate, high-value Kubernetes-native testing framework with verified Series A funding (~$8M raised, ~$45M valuation) and significant industry adoption (Cloudflare, Adobe). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and vague descriptions. The score reflects the strong external reality of the project, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the Proof of Usefulness application data.
