Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Elpha Secure is a legitimate, Series A funded InsurTech company with significant revenue (~$15M+) and strong backing (Canapi, AXIS, State Farm), verifying high real-world utility and traction. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone') and missing critical metrics. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals verified externally, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of substantiated evidence in the entry.
