Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission references 'Carahsoft', a major government IT solutions provider with $16B+ in revenue, but the submission itself contains significant red flags suggesting impersonation or low-effort spam. The submitter name 'WhisperWalker' and the nonsensical revenue claim ('all time marketcap: 1000000001') undermine the credibility of the entry. While the entity (Carahsoft) has massive real-world traction, the submission fails to provide verifiable evidence, resulting in a minimal score based on the 'Proof' methodology.
