The project 'illustria.io' represents a legitimate and highly relevant solution in the Software Supply Chain Security space, evidenced by external verification of 2025 partnerships (Sweet Security, Scribe) and product capabilities (zero-day detection, typo-squatting prevention). However, the specific submission provided is of critically low quality, containing exaggerated audience claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing all key traction metrics ('activeUsers: empty'). The Proof of Usefulness score reflects the high intrinsic utility and market timing of the verified technology, heavily penalized by the 'Quality Factor' due to the submitter's failure to provide verifiable evidence or realistic reach data. The score places it in the 'Small but Promising' category, acknowledging the tech over the submission effort.
