Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

DC Alliance is a legitimate, verifiable data center operator in Perth, Australia, with significant physical assets (Tier III facility, ~8MW capacity) and government contracts (GovNext-ICT). However, the submission quality is critically poor, containing unprofessional placeholders (Name: 'SwiftRider'), false claims about reach ('everyone', 'most people'), and missing financial data. While the project itself has high real-world utility and verified traction (acquisition of Pier DC, ~$2M funding), the submission fails to accurately represent its B2B industrial scale, resulting in a heavily penalized score despite the underlying business value.
