Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Webcapsule is a legitimate early-stage Internal Developer Platform (IDP) and DevOps tool with verifiable presence on GitHub (Orbits framework) and AWS Marketplace. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'). While the technology addresses a real problem in Platform Engineering with a 'sovereign cloud' angle, the project demonstrates minimal verifiable market adoption (approx. 200 LinkedIn followers, <100 GitHub stars) and relies on a misleading application entry, resulting in a heavily penalized score.
