Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a legitimate UK-based AI company (Alchera Technologies Ltd) with verified B2B traction (contracts with National Highways, Oxfordshire County Council). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing vague ('everyone') and potentially inaccurate claims ('marketcap 2500000', 'most people have used my product') that conflate the startup with a larger entity or exaggerate reach. While the technical solution (Digital Twins/Mobility AI) has high utility, the PoU score is penalized significantly by the lack of verifiable evidence in the submission itself.
