PROTICA
Most people will jump in here and tell you straight off that you shouldn't use products like Profect because they are collagen based protein which isn't ideal. But, these products all contain an added amino acid profile making them complete proteins.
That said, it appears that Protica does not publish the PDCAAS scores because they are likely very low. Actinase, the component in the Profect items is a good product but it's unclear whether that carries over into the scores or not.
I did find this thread, it contains some good information even with the Unjury sales person spewing. :)

And a little more info:
Not all protein has the same value to your body. The amino acid profile
is the reason for this. Proteins are made of amino acids. There are 20
different ones in the human body. Of the twenty, 9 of them must be
consumed to meet your daily needs. These 9 amino acids are called
Essential (EAA) or Indispensable.
The 9 EAAs are needed in certain proportions. A protein scoring system
called Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Scoring (or PDCAAS)
was developed to show which products contain all the EAA and in the
correct proportions. It is supported by the FDA, the World Health
Organization, and perhaps most importantly, the Institute of Medicine at
the National Academy of Sciences. The highest possible score is 100.
-- Collagen Protein gets a 0 (the lowest possible score)
-- Whey Protein Isolate gets 100 (the highest possible score)
Some proteins such as COLLAGEN or HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN protein are
missing one of the EAAs entirely. So the PDCAAS for collagen is zero.
Collagen is often the main ingredient in protein supplements that come
in a liquid form, and they usually have lower PDCAAS scores.
Here are some collagen products that have lower PDCAAS scores:
New Whey and Profect1: These products appear to have a PDCAAS score of
5 or 6 out of 100. Lab analyses of several samples suggest that about
94% of their protein, by weight, is from collagen.
Proteinex2: The Proteinex OTC products appear to get protein only from
hydrolyzed collagen, so their PDCAAS score is 0 or virtually 0.
Pro-Stat 64 / Pro-Stat 1013: These products appear to have a PDCAAS
score of about 37 out of 100.
The BEST products to purchase are products made from whey protein
ISOLATE (not concentrate) and soy protein ISOLATE.
