Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

PreVeil is a high-utility cybersecurity solution addressing critical CMMC/NIST compliance needs for the Defense Industrial Base. While the submission itself contained exaggerated claims ('everyone', 'most people') and low-effort data, external verification confirms it is a Series C company with ~$12M+ estimated revenue, ~60-80 employees, and significant adoption in regulated industries (5,000+ customers). The high score reflects the verified strength of the product and business, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the provided submission evidence.
