Analysis completed on 2/2/2026

+702
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

HYPR is a verified Series D leader in passwordless authentication with over $130M in funding and major enterprise clients (e.g., 2 of the top 4 US banks). The project solves a critical, high-utility problem (phishing/identity security) with industry-leading FIDO technology. While the submission itself was poorly filled out (missing revenue data, vague 'everyone' claims), the verifiable real-world traction and scale of the entity justify a high score in the 'Much Larger Scale' category. The score is penalized slightly due to the lack of effort in the submission form.
