Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Sekoia.io is a well-established European cybersecurity company (Series B, ~€60M funding) with a verified XDR/SOC platform. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing financial data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified external traction of the company, heavily penalized by the lack of evidence and accuracy in the submission text.
