Category Standard

Data Theorem is a verified, established leader in Modern Application Security (CNAPP/API Security) with significant revenue (est. $19M+) and major enterprise clients (Zoom, Yahoo, CNN). While the project itself has high real-world utility and verified traction, the submission quality was extremely poor, containing vague and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'audience is everyone', 'most people have used my product'). Consequently, Quality Factors for Reach and Traction were penalized to 0.5 to reflect the lack of provided evidence, while the base scores reflect the verified external reality of the company's success.
