Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Webscale Networks is a well-established player in the e-commerce cloud automation space, validated by its Series C funding ($62M+) and acquisition by Section in 2023. While the project submission itself contained extremely poor and lazy data (e.g., 'everyone' for reach, 'most people' for traction), external verification confirms significant real-world utility, generating estimated annual revenue of ~$19M-$20M and serving over 4,000 storefronts. The score reflects the high value and confirmed traction of the business, despite the low quality of the input form.
