Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

FourCore is a verified Indian cybersecurity startup (founded 2021) offering a Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platform with ~$128k annual revenue and partnerships with KPMG and Airtel. However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and nonsensical data ('construction'). The score reflects the legitimate real-world utility and verified early traction of the underlying business, heavily penalized for the poor and misleading submission quality.
