Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Prefect is a highly established workflow orchestration platform with significant verifiable traction (Series B funding, ~100 employees, widely used open-source library). However, the project submission itself was extremely low-quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking specific evidence. The score reflects the high real-world utility and market position of the actual entity, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Quality Factor' multipliers due to the submission's failure to provide accurate or substantiating data.
