Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Project evaluated is Terrestar Solutions Inc., a verified Canadian satellite operator with significant infrastructure (Echostar T1, S-band spectrum) and partnerships (Skylo, Mavenir). The submission itself is of low quality, containing contradictory names ('FrostKeeper'), exaggerated traction claims ('most people have used my product'), and confusing financial data. However, the underlying entity is a legitimate, high-utility business with estimated $10M+ revenue and strategic value in the Direct-to-Device market. The score reflects the strong corporate reality heavily penalized by the poor submission integrity.
