Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission leverages the name of a legitimate AI cloud platform (FluidStack), but the application itself is highly suspicious and low-effort. It contains major red flags including a fake submitter name ('ThunderStorm'), an auto-generated or burner email prefix (870969@), and completely unsubstantiated, nonsensical claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product', 'all time marketcap: 2500000'). Because the submission lacks verifiable proof that the applicant is associated with the real company, all criteria received the lowest Quality Factor penalty (0.5), resulting in a heavily suppressed score.
