Secunet is a verified, established German cybersecurity market leader (revenues ~€400M+) protecting critical government infrastructure. The project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Traction based on verified corporate data (public listing, government partnerships). However, the specific submission quality is low (lazy form entry, vague 'everyone' claims), resulting in lower Quality Factors and penalizing the score significantly from its potential 800+ ceiling. The email domain matches the entity, adding credibility.
