Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Rubrik' is a verified, publicly traded entity (NYSE: RBRK) and a leader in Zero Trust Data Security, far exceeding the scale of typical submissions. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic falsehoods (Audience: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry. The high score reflects the verifiable real-world dominance and utility of Rubrik as a $7B+ enterprise company, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors (Qi) in the 'Reach' and 'Traction' sections due to the submitter's inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims.
