Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project represents Flashpoint, a leading threat intelligence and risk prevention company acquired by Audax Private Equity. While the submission data itself is of extremely poor quality (inaccurate revenue, hyperbolic claims like 'most people', and use of an alias 'SilentBlade'), the underlying entity is a high-value enterprise with verified traction (approx. $100M ARR, 750+ employees). The score reflects the massive real-world utility and market position of Flashpoint, heavily penalized by a low quality factor due to the lazy and inaccurate submission details.
