Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

StackGuardian is a verified Series A funded ($10M, Sept 2025) cloud orchestration platform with enterprise traction (Siemens, Bpost). Despite a low-quality submission containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', reach 'everyone'), external verification confirms high real-world utility in the DevSecOps/IaC market. The project has significant backing and verifiable technology, but the evaluation score is penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the input form.
