Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The project 'RegScale' (submitted as 'IronKeeper') is a high-growth B2B company in the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) sector. External verification confirms it has raised over $50M in funding (Series B), acquired GovReady (the domain in the submission email), and serves major clients like the US Navy and Fortune 500s. While the submission text itself was poor (claiming 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people' have used it), the underlying verifiable facts demonstrate exceptional utility, innovation (Compliance as Code/OSCAL), and significant market traction.
