CyDeploy is a legitimate, high-potential B2B cybersecurity startup (founded by Tina Williams-Koroma) offering AI-driven 'digital twin' functional testing for patch management. External verification confirms ~$1M in funding (TEDCO, MIPS grants) and recognition as a TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 finalist. However, the PoU score is heavily penalized by the submission's poor quality, which contained demonstrably false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and lacked basic data. While the real-world utility and technology are strong (scoring high on merit), the response quality and traction credibility (based on input) dragged the final score into the 'Small but promising' range (100-250), rather than a higher tier.
