Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

MuleSoft is a dominant industry standard in API integration and connectivity, acquired by Salesforce for $6.5B. While the submission data is low-effort (vague descriptions, placeholder email), the project's real-world utility, market reach, and established traction are indisputable and of enterprise scale. The score reflects its 'Unicorn' status, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' section due to the lack of detail in the submission form.
