Proof of Usefulness Score

Category Standard

The submission describes SUSE NeuVector, a legitimate, high-value enterprise container security platform with massive confirmed utility and verified traction (acquired for $130M, used by Fortune 500). However, the submission data itself contains significant inaccuracies (claiming 'most people' as users, confusing revenue with market cap, and using generic placeholders). The score reflects the verifiable high status of the technology and company, heavily penalized by the low quality and inaccuracy of the submission text.
