Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The submission describes Cloudflare, a foundational internet infrastructure company with verifiable massive scale ($74B+ market cap, ~20% of web traffic). While the project data matches Cloudflare's public metrics, the submission name 'SwiftBlade' and odd tags ('construction') suggest a potential naming error or low-effort submission. The score reflects Cloudflare's immense real-world utility and traction, adjusted downward slightly for submission quality inconsistencies.
