Unicorn Utility

Secure Code Warrior is a verified market leader in the developer security space, with over $100M in funding (Series C), 600+ enterprise customers (including JPMorgan, HSBC), and 250,000+ active learners. While the underlying business fundamentals are exceptionally strong, the specific submission provided contained low-effort, exaggerated placeholder text (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone'). Consequently, the score reflects the high real-world value and traction of the verified entity, penalized by the poor quality of the submission evidence.
