Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission for 'SwiftBlade' (Lumu Technologies) contains significant inaccuracies and low-effort claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). However, external verification confirms Lumu Technologies is a legitimate, high-growth cybersecurity company founded in 2019, having raised over $38M (Series B) with ~170 employees and a verified product (Continuous Compromise Assessment). The score reflects the strong real-world utility, innovation, and verified traction of the underlying business, while heavily penalizing the Response Quality due to the poor submission data.
