Slik Protect is a verifiable B2B cybersecurity startup (established ~2021, likely linked to Y Combinator alumni) offering cloud infrastructure backup and vulnerability scanning. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', target audience 'everyone') and irrelevant tags ('construction'). While the core technology and market timing for ransomware protection are strong, the lack of verifiable traction data, combined with hyperbolic claims and zero user reviews on major platforms, heavily penalizes the score. The project falls into the 'Minimal Traction' category due to these credibility gaps and the absence of concrete usage metrics.
