It has $175 M locked in the protocol, it is also featured on https://ethereum.org/en/dapps/, and is one of the oldest DeFI projects. By my definition, it is both "first tier" and "high quality". We can of course have the philosophical debate of objectivity and if such thing even exists, not sure if it's needed here though.

The audits of this protocol is also continuous.

175M$ is like 1/4th of the hack that this thread is discussing.

Also, they specifically state that not everything is audited? Nowhere do they mention continuous audits.

You are right, it's not mentioned, but they do in fact spend hundreds of thousands every few months for audits. You'll find more info here: https://gov.pooltogether.com/
