Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The submission conflates two distinct entities: SonarSource (a 'Clean Code' platform worth ~$4.7B) and a smaller marketing tool using the domain 'sonarapp.com'. Based on the explicit 'Clean code platform' category and the specific market cap provided ($4.7B), the project was evaluated as SonarSource. The score reflects the entity's verified unicorn status and massive market adoption, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Utility' metrics due to the inaccurate description ('MarketingTech') and hyperbolic claims ('everyone').
