Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Rapid SCADA is a legitimate, established open-source industrial automation platform with verifiable real-world usage (evidenced by CISA advisories and active forums). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people') and nonsensical revenue data ('marketcap: 50000'). The score reflects the high utility and actual niche traction of the software, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission and the lack of provided evidence.
