Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

While SocketXP is a verifiable, legitimate IoT and remote access tool with real-world utility, this submission is severely lacking in quality. The claims regarding audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product') are hyperbolic and inaccurate for a niche DevOps product. The score reflects the 'Proof' aspect of the methodology; despite the software's actual validity, the submitted evidence is non-existent, resulting in maximum penalties for quality factors.
