Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Mezmo (formerly LogDNA) is a verified Series D observability platform with over $110M in funding and significant enterprise traction (e.g., IBM Cloud partnership, Inc. 5000 ranking). While the project itself is high-utility and well-established, the specific submission provided was extremely low-quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('reach: everyone') and missing technical details ('technologies: business-development'). The score is heavily buoyed by external verification of the company's actual market position, despite the poor quality of the input form.
