Sikoia

Analysis completed on 1/30/2026

+348
Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Sikoia is a verified, legitimate B2B fintech company offering a Unified Data Platform for risk and identity decisioning. Despite the submission containing low-quality, hallucinatory claims (e.g., 'audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used my product'), independent verification confirms significant traction, including $8.3M in funding and active partnerships (Tandem Bank, Finova). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and market relevance in the compliance sector, though the specific submission quality was extremely poor. The score reflects the high value of the actual business entity, penalized heavily in the Response Quality metric.
