The submission for 'Outerbase' (entered as 'WhisperStorm') contains extremely low-quality, hyperbolic, and inaccurate data (e.g., 'Technologies Used: leadership', 'Evidence: most people have used my product'). However, independent verification confirms that Outerbase is a legitimate, high-utility database interface tool that was acquired by Cloudflare in April 2025. The project itself possesses exceptional real-world utility, verifiable traction (exit), and strong market timing. The final score of 426 reflects the project's proven success (Acquisition) significantly dampened by the poor quality of the submission (Quality Factor 0.5 applied across all metrics).
