Akto is a legitimate, high-potential API security project backed by Accel with verifiable traction ($4.5M seed funding, 1.4k+ GitHub stars). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing factually incorrect claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing critical data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified technical innovation of the actual product, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and the lack of provided evidence in the submission.
