+555
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Xage Security is a verified, high-growth Series B company providing critical Zero Trust solutions for industrial operations (OT) and government sectors (e.g., US Space Force, Kinder Morgan). The project has high real-world utility and strong verifiable traction ($80M+ funding, significant revenue growth). However, the submission itself was of extremely poor quality, containing false claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', 'most people have used my product') and a suspicious email address. Consequently, the score reflects the high value of the underlying business heavily penalized by the 'Quality Factor' for inaccurate and unprofessional submission data.
