CLOWD9 is a verifiable, high-potential fintech company operating as the world's first cloud-native, decentralized issuer processor. External verification confirms significant traction, including certifications from Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, as well as a team size of ~40 employees—far exceeding the submission's outdated claim of 16. While the project itself demonstrates high real-world utility and technical innovation (microservices/cloud-native architecture), the submission quality was abysmal (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as traction). The score reflects the project's actual strong market position (600+ range) but is heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the inaccurate and lazy user input.
