Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Endor Labs is a highly significant Series B cybersecurity company ($188M verified funding) addressing critical software supply chain risks. While the submission itself was of extremely poor quality (vague claims, 'everyone' audience), external verification confirms 'unicorn' potential, major enterprise adoption (Atlassian, OpenAI), and strong technical innovation (reachability analysis). The score reflects the massive real-world utility and traction, penalized slightly for the low-effort submission.
