Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Amazon Interactive Video Service' refers to a legitimate, high-scale AWS product (ivs.rocks). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, likely created by a user testing the system or a developer using a demo email ('791165@ivs.rocks'). While the underlying technology and market reach are massive (powering Twitch and others), the submission provides no verifiable evidence, uses vague claims ('everyone'), and lists irrelevant tags ('construction'). The score reflects the massive potential of the actual software dampened significantly by the lack of professional effort in the submission.
