Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission references a legitimate and high-value academic supercomputing facility (N8 CIR/Bede). However, the submission data itself is of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and nonsensical financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000' for a university consortium). While the underlying entity has significant real-world utility for researchers, the submission fails to provide verifiable evidence, demonstrates a lack of effort, and includes red flags indicative of spam or testing behavior. The score reflects the quality of the 'Proof' provided, not the potential value of the facility itself.
