  type: PropertyValue
  value: No mention of existing customers, deployment scale, false positive/negative rates, benchmark comparisons, or regulatory alignment (e.g., NIST AI RMF)
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines the credibility signal of a named funding round with domain-specific terminology ('red-teaming', 'AI security') to imply technical legitimacy, while the absence of performance data or competitive context makes the claimed capability feel larger than warranted — the gap between 'offers tools' and 'secures AI systems' remains entirely unvalidated.
