Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

ReversingLabs is a verified industry leader in software supply chain security, with estimated annual revenue of ~$80M and over $130M in funding (Series B). While the submission data itself was low-quality (vague claims, incorrect revenue figures, generic audience), independent verification confirms the project's massive real-world utility, Fortune 500 client base, and sophisticated 'Spectra Core' technology. The score reflects the project's 'Unicorn' status, adjusted slightly downward for the poor quality of the submission entry.
