Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Refine Dev is a highly legitimate and popular open-source project (25k+ GitHub stars) offering significant utility in the React ecosystem. However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and missing data. Consequently, the score reflects a balance: high base scores for the verified product utility and innovation, but severe penalties (0.5 Quality Factors) applied to Traction and Reach due to the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission.
