Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Kovrr is a verified, established Series A/B company offering a high-utility Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) platform with significant partnerships (e.g., Microsoft, BitSight) and funding. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (e.g., Audience Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product') and vague data. The evaluation heavily penalizes the Response Quality and claimed Reach/Traction accuracy, but credits the verified underlying real-world utility and market position of the actual company. The score reflects a mature B2B entity (400-700 range) dragged down by a low-effort submission.
