Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project URL points to TISD (Traylor Internet Services/VTX1), a legitimate and established Internet Service Provider in Texas with verifiable infrastructure and significant annual revenue (est. $70M+). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, featuring a likely alias ('FrostClaw'), inaccurate claims of 'everyone' reach, and nonsensical revenue data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying business has high real-world utility and traction, the submission fails to demonstrate professional ownership or detail, heavily penalizing the final score.
