+321
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Martian Software Inc. is a legitimate, established software entity (est. 2003) known for valuable developer tools like Nailgun and the recent ChatKeeper. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing unsubstantiated claims ('everyone' audience), confusion between revenue and market cap, and a lack of descriptive detail. The score reflects the high historical utility and technical merit of the actual software found at the URL, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality and lack of direct evidence provided in the input.
