+71.5
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Wanlynx operates in a highly relevant cybersecurity niche (SOAR and Threat Intelligence), but its submission is unprofessional and lacks verifiable metrics. Claims such as 'everyone' being the target audience for a B2B enterprise SOC tool and 'most people have used my product' are unrealistic and unsubstantiated. The lack of concrete traction data after 11 years of operation, coupled with vague responses, results in a heavily discounted score reflecting minimal verifiable traction.
