Despite a low-quality submission ('most people have used my product', vague details), the underlying project 'cysmo' is a verified, high-value B2B platform owned by PPI AG. It serves over 25 major insurers (e.g., Allianz, ERGO) and is an industry standard for outside-in cyber risk scanning in DACH/Europe. The project demonstrates strong real-world utility, verified market traction, and solid technical innovation, warranting a high score despite the poor form entry.
