Coana is a legitimate, high-value static analysis company specializing in 'reachability analysis' to reduce vulnerability false positives. Founded by researchers from Aarhus University in 2022, the company was acquired by Socket in April 2025, validating its technology and market value. Despite the submission's poor quality (incorrect name 'WhisperGale', hyperbolic traction claims, and vague description), the underlying project demonstrates exceptional technical innovation and successful exit traction. The score reflects the high utility and proven success of Coana, severely penalized only in the 'Response Quality' metric due to the submitter's lack of effort.
