Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Shieldoo is a verifiable B2B cybersecurity product offering Mesh VPN/Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions, likely based on the Nebula protocol. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking verified metrics. While the technology has real-world utility and verified case studies (e.g., Zásilkovna, CarlStahl), the lack of credible data in the submission and the niche nature of the actual product (vs. the claimed 'everyone') heavily penalizes the score. The evaluation relies on external verification to salvage points for Utility and Innovation, placing it in the 'Small but promising' range despite the poor input.
