Devnet, test money.

From an idea to a payout

Qloo sets where a product launches and how many pre-orders prove demand, before any money is held.

  1. Who wants it?

    A graphene-coated cycling jacket: Qloo's heatmap names Boulder, CO.

  2. What does the Ready brief say?

    10 pre-orders from Boulder, CO

  3. Is the money held?

    A pre-order held on devnet, one of 10.

  4. Was it paid on proof?

    Released by the referee's verdict

    The whole crossing

How is the target worked out?

From the launch city's population and Qloo's mean affinity there: population over 100,000 times the affinity, never under 10.

Idea
a graphene-coated cycling jacket
City
Boulder, CO, the metro with the highest mean affinity on Qloo's heatmap (filter.type=urn:heatmap)
Population
326,831 (Census, 2023)

target = max(10, round(POP / 100,000 × mean affinity))

= max(10, 3) = 10 pre-orders, with Qloo's mean affinity (kept on the app's server)

What would the target be in each launch city?

The same formula in each city gives the targets below.

Boulder, CO326,83110 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.

New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ19,498,249195

= 195 pre-orders, with Qloo's mean affinity (kept on the app's server)

What happens to 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.

How much money already waits on proof?

Billions each year in research and milestone payments, by the sources below.
