Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Cyphinix is a legitimate, albeit small, cybersecurity consultancy based in Pune, India, offering standard services like VAPT, network security, and digital forensics. However, the project submission is critically flawed, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., audience reach of 'everyone' and traction of 'most people have used my product'). The financial metric ('marketcap: 500000') is ambiguous and lacks currency context. While the underlying business provides real-world utility to its B2B clients, the lack of verifiable innovation, the hyper-localized nature of its traction, and the poor quality of the submission result in a low Proof of Usefulness score.
