Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

DetectionFlow operates in a highly relevant B2B cybersecurity niche (TDIR, AI-SOC), addressing real-world enterprise needs. However, the submission is undermined by severely exaggerated claims—stating 'everyone' as the target audience and 'most people have used my product' for a 6-person boutique consultancy launched in 2025. These highly improbable inputs result in poor quality factors for traction, reach, and response quality, placing the final score firmly in the minimal traction tier.
