Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Mobb is a legitimate, venture-backed DevSecOps startup (raised $5.4M Seed in 2023) addressing a critical market need: automated vulnerability remediation. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility, strong market timing, and significant technical innovation (AI-driven code fixes), the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing false claims about reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'). The score reflects the verified potential and funding of the company, heavily penalized by the low-quality submission and early-stage user adoption relative to established benchmarks.
