Category Standard

Britive is a verified, high-traction Series B security company with significant funding (~$36M) and utility in the Cloud/PAM space. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and missing data. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals found via verification, heavily penalized by the poor submission quality and inaccurate claims.
