CipherTrace is a premier blockchain intelligence and cybersecurity firm, acquired by Mastercard in 2021 (estimated $250M+). It provides critical AML/CTF compliance infrastructure for banks, governments, and exchanges globally. While the project itself has exceptional real-world utility, technical innovation, and verifiable market traction (used by DHS, major banks), the submission provided was of very low quality. The submitter entered inaccurate claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'traction: most people', 'revenue: marketcap') which contradicts the specialized B2B nature of the business. The score reflects the massive verifiable value of the entity, penalized by a low Quality Factor for the specific evidence and effort provided in this submission.
