Category Standard

MixMode is a verifiable Series B cybersecurity company (raised ~$45M in 2022) offering high-utility 'Third-Wave AI' for threat detection. While the project's real-world scale and innovation are significant, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'team size 10-20'). The evaluation credits the verifiable external traction and technology but applies strict Quality Factor penalties for the inaccurate and unprofessional submission data.
