+196
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Thunderbolt Studios is a verifiable software agency with a portfolio of B2B clients (e.g., MonetaGo, martial arts studios), contradicting the submission's low-quality claims of reaching 'everyone'. While the user input contains significant inaccuracies (misused 'marketcap' term, exaggerated traction), the underlying business appears functional with plausible revenue potential ($2.5M all-time). The project scores as a 'Small but promising' entity, heavily penalized for a careless submission that obscures its actual B2B utility.
