Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Project 'DeepStorm' appears to be a misnamed submission for MediaMelon, a legitimate Series A company with ~$2.1M revenue and verified 'SmartSight/QBR' technology. While the submission contains significant red flags (wrong name, 'marketcap null', exaggerated 'everyone' reach), the underlying URL and business entity are established. The score reflects the strong real-world utility and verified external traction of MediaMelon, heavily penalized for the poor quality and inaccuracies of the specific submission data.
