+603
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

RedSeal Inc. is a verifiable, established cybersecurity firm (acquired by STG in 2019) with significant traction (estimated $40M+ revenue, ~150+ employees). The project demonstrates high real-world utility in the enterprise network security space. However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('audience: everyone', 'most people have used my product') and vague technical details ('Computer Software'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and verified traction, heavily penalized by the poor quality and inaccuracy of the submitted responses.
