Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Torq is a verified high-growth security hyperautomation company (Series D, $1.2B valuation as of Jan 2026), exceeding the submitted '700M' claim. While the project fundamentals are exceptional (Unicorn status, Fortune 500 adoption), the submission quality was poor (vague claims like 'everyone', 'most people'), resulting in significant Quality Factor penalties. The score reflects a top-tier technology venture adjusted down for submission vagueness.
