+642
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'Netskope' represents a major, verified player in the SASE and cybersecurity space with a valuation exceeding $7.5B and significant global traction. However, the submission itself is of very poor quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), inaccurate financial labels ($300M market cap vs actual multi-billion valuation), and lazy descriptions. While the entity's real-world utility and reach are exceptional (fitting the 400-700+ calibration for large scale), the score is penalized by the low quality of the specific evidence provided in this form.
