Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Ricta Technologies Srl is a legitimate, small boutique OSINT agency based in Romania (est. 2020), but the specific project 'SilentStorm' is unverifiable in public records and likely an internal codename or error (their flagship browser is 'Forsint'). The submission contains demonstrably false hyperboles (e.g., audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people'), which severely damages credibility. While the field (OSINT/Forensics) has high utility, the lack of evidence for this specific tool and the poor quality of the submission result in a low score.
