Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Keytos is a legitimate B2B enterprise security company offering Azure-native PKI solutions (EZCA) and passwordless authentication. External verification confirms they are a Microsoft Partner with specialized offerings for government cloud (GCC High). However, the project submission itself ('ThunderFang') is of extremely low quality, containing nonsensical descriptions ('Keytosis') and patently false claims about audience reach ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high utility of the actual software, heavily penalized by the lack of credible data and professionalism in the submission.
