Devnet, test money.
From an idea to a payout

The target, worked through
- Idea
- a graphene-coated cycling jacket
- City
- Boulder, CO, the metro with the highest mean affinity on Qloo's heatmap (
filter.type=urn:heatmap) - Mean affinity
- 0.9986 over 3 heatmap cells
- Population
- 326,831 (Census, 2023)
target = max(10, round(POP / 100,000 × mean affinity))
= max(10, round(326,831 / 100,000 × 0.9986)) = max(10, round(3.26)) = max(10, 3) = 10 pre-orders
The target in each launch city
| Launch city | Mean affinity | Population | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boulder, CO | 0.9986 | 326,831 | 10 floor |
The run kept the top launch city for each idea. In Boulder the formula gives 3, so the floor of 10 sets the target.

| Launch city | Mean affinity | Population | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ | 0.9984 | 19,498,249 | 195 |
= max(10, round(19,498,249 / 100,000 × 0.9984)) = 195 pre-orders
The same idea without Qloo
Cannot decide. With every Qloo answer removed there is no launch city and no pre-order target, so pre-orders cannot open.
Each card on the front door has this switch.
