Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Netreo is a highly successful, established enterprise IT monitoring company with verified annual revenue estimated over $15M and a recent acquisition by BMC Software (April 2024). Despite a low-quality submission (lazy input fields like 'most people have used my product'), the project's actual real-world utility, scale (1,400+ enterprise customers), and traction (Inc. 5000 honoree 6x) are exceptional. The score reflects the massive verified success of the business, adjusted downward slightly for the poor quality of the specific form data provided.
