Unicorn Utility

Drata is a verified 'Unicorn' ($2B+ valuation) and category leader in GRC automation, having reached $100M ARR in under four years with over 7,000 customers. Despite the submission containing low-quality, inaccurate data (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and confusing market cap with revenue), the actual project metrics demonstrate exceptional real-world utility and traction. The score reflects the entity's verified massive scale and market dominance, heavily weighted against the poor quality of the form submission.
