Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Brandvakt is a verified cybersecurity consultancy with a significant physical presence in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America (offices in Dubai, Luanda, Kinshasa, São Paulo). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and market relevance. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('audience: everyone', 'traction: most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 17000000'). The score reflects the legitimate operational scale (approx. 30 employees) and verified business existence, heavily penalized for the lack of credible evidence provided in the application.
