Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

New Relic is a market-leading enterprise observability platform with verifiable massive scale (7,500+ employees, previously publicly traded at ~$6.5B valuation). Despite the low-effort submission text containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), the project's actual real-world utility, global traction, and technical maturity are exceptional. The score is calibrated to the 'Much Larger Scale' tier (400–700+), significantly outperforming the baseline due to its established industry dominance.
