Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

DevOcean Security is a verifiable, high-impact cloud remediation platform that was acquired by Pentera in late 2025, validating its significant market value and technical innovation (Gartner Cool Vendor). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacking specific data. The final score reflects the high intrinsic utility and proven traction of the verified project, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the submitter's failure to provide credible evidence.
