Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'FrostForge' is a submission for Detectify, a well-established Swedish External Attack Surface Management (EASM) company. While the actual company demonstrates high real-world utility, strong market timing, and significant verified traction ($15M+ estimated revenue, >100 employees), the submission itself is of very low quality. The user provided inaccurate data (claiming '17000000 marketcap' likely based on 2018 SEK revenue, and 'everyone' as the audience). The score reflects the high verifiable value of the Detectify platform, heavily penalized by the 'Quality Factors' due to the lazy and inaccurate submission evidence.
