Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission appears to be an impersonation of Microsoft's Outlook/Live services by an unaffiliated individual ('FrostRider'). The project claims implausible metrics (market cap of $75M for Outlook, team size of 10,001) and uses a Chilean domain redirect. This is categorized as a spam/red-flag submission with zero verifiable utility or traction for the submitter.
