Proof of Usefulness Score

You're In Business

The project 'Fluence Labs' (Fluence Network) is a legitimate and funded decentralized cloud computing platform (DePIN) with verifiable traction ($1M+ annualized revenue, $15M+ funding, live mainnet). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing objectively false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and lacking specific metrics. While the technology and market timing are strong, the score is heavily penalized by the unverifiable and exaggerated assertions in the application data.
