Kertos

Analysis completed on 1/24/2026

+604
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Kertos' is a verified, high-potential Series A company (raised ~€20M) offering AI-native compliance automation (GDPR, ISO, etc.). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lazy data entry ('marketcap: null', 'Kertosis'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the actual entity, heavily penalized by Quality Factors due to the unreliable and inaccurate submission details.
