Category Standard

Holm Security is a verified, established cybersecurity firm (approx. $12.5M revenue, ~85 employees) with strong traction in Europe (1,500+ customers), significantly outperforming the low-quality submission claims. The submission contained inaccuracies regarding team size (claimed 350 vs actual ~85), generic audience claims, and confusing financial metrics. The score reflects the project's high real-world utility and verified market position, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' metric for the poor submission data.
