Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

SecurityPal is a verified, high-growth Series A startup (backed by Craft Ventures) with significant traction ($21M funding, ~200 employees) and major enterprise customers like Figma, Airtable, and OpenAI. While the submission response quality was extremely poor (containing lazy/inaccurate claims like 'most people have used my product'), the underlying business demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, market fit, and execution in the Customer Assurance space. The score reflects the strong external evidence of the project's success despite the low-quality submission.
