MotherDuck is a highly legitimate, well-funded ($100M+) Series B data infrastructure project with significant real-world utility and innovation, extending DuckDB to the cloud. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic falsehoods ('most people have used my product'), ambiguous metrics ('17000000 marketcap' likely refers to revenue or is a typo for valuation), and lacking verifiable details. The score reflects the project's high verified market value (~$400M) and technical merit, heavily penalized by the low-effort and inaccurate submission text.
