README: No configure script found. No requirementslisted. Hints for new users are broken. User experience for this project: Bad

I arrived here from oss-fuzz.
From the project description, criticality_score looks simple, but for a new user, it's crap.

Hint: My system does not have many unused tools installed,
and I never used go or docker before and neither is installed.

Result	Details
OK	Cloning the project works as usual
FAIL	There is no configure script
TRY	A Makefile is present, so I expect, that a simple make works
FAIL	make just outputs a help message
FAIL	The Makefile has no all target, or at least a target named criticality_score
TRY	I tried to build the project with the help of the README.md file
FAIL	There is no section Requirements or Dependencies
TRY	Without Dependencies, everything should work out of the box: I tried again with the Usage section in the README
TRY	go install github.com/ossf/criticality_score/cmd/criticality_score@latest
FAIL	go / golang not installed. A `configure' script could check that and print a useful message
OK	Installing golang with the package manager works (needs 220MB)
TRY	go install github.com/ossf/criticality_score/cmd/criticality_score@latest
FAIL	go downloads 64 dependency projects, but nothing changed in the cloned project. Nothing was build in the current directory (the cloned repository)
OK	I have a github token, and can export it
TRY	gcloud auth login --update-adc
FAIL	gcloud is not installed and cannot be installed from the package manager
FAIL	Where does gcloud come from? A configure script could check for gcloud and print a message
TRY	criticality_score -gcp-project-id=[your projectID] https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
FAIL	criticality_score was not build
FAIL	The command requires a projectID, but there is no info, what is needed here and where i can get this ID

Too many failures: I stopped here.

When a project ignores "autotools" (and C or C++) and decides to uses something different,
the replacement must be as simple as "autotools" (together with C or C++),
and the replacement must always work.

Unfortunately, this project is not simple and it does not work at all.

I think this project only serves the owner organization and requires a lot of configuration to work.
