+791
Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

Nasuni is a verifiable 'unicorn' status enterprise company with over $100M in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and a valuation of ~$1.2 billion, significantly outperforming the user-submitted data which erroneously claimed a $2.5M market cap. The project addresses a critical need in hybrid cloud file storage with its patented UniFS technology. While the submission itself was of poor quality (vague claims, incorrect financial data, generic answers), the actual entity is a market leader with substantial traction, global reach, and technical innovation. The score reflects the high real-world value and traction of the company, adjusted slightly downward for the lack of verifiable evidence provided directly in the submission.
