I believe that the intent is to install short, open (no component) 50Ω components and THRU lines onto the board and use them as calibration standards.
Then build a circuit (filter, etc.) on the "sea of holes" and test it, using the standards to calibrate a VNA.
I suspect that, due to the fact that the board has a lot of parasitic capacitances and inductances, and that the components have not been accurately characterized, that its usefulness is likely limited to the HF and low VHF frequencies.
