Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

HYAS is a well-established cybersecurity firm (Series B, ~$50M funding) specializing in adversary infrastructure attribution. While the submission itself was of extremely low quality—containing demonstrably false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people')—independent verification confirms the company provides critical B2B security intelligence, has significant revenue (est. $9M+), and was reportedly acquired by Silent Push in late 2025. The high score reflects the verifiable utility and market position of the technology, despite the poor submission effort.
