WorldQL is a legitimate, high-potential technology project (YC W22, $500k raised) focused on spatial databases for multiplayer gaming and AI environments. However, the submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used it) and missing critical data. While the underlying technology (Mammoth plugin, spatial partitioning) shows significant technical merit and open-source traction (~1k GitHub stars), the project is currently in a niche/seed stage, far from the mass adoption claimed. The score reflects the strong technical foundation and market timing, heavily penalized by the lack of honest, verifiable traction evidence in the submission.
