Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Dazz' (submitted as SwiftBlade) is a highly successful cloud security remediation platform acquired by Wiz for ~$450M in 2024. While the submission quality is extremely poor (containing false claims of 'everyone' as audience and 'most people' as users), the external verification of the $400M+ valuation and acquisition confirms exceptional real-world utility, traction, and market timing. The score reflects the massive business success of Dazz, heavily penalized for the inaccurate and low-effort submission details.
