Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Exabeam is a verifiable industry leader in the SIEM and cybersecurity space, with a valuation exceeding $2.4B and a significant recent merger with LogRhythm. While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction (Unicorn status), the submission ('IronFang') is of very poor quality, containing inaccurate revenue figures ($75M vs actual $2.4B valuation) and vague claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high capability of the technology and market position, heavily penalized in the response quality metric.
