Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

AlCircle is a verified, established B2B platform and news source for the global aluminum industry with over 13 years of operation. While the submission itself was poor (exaggerated audience claims, vague details), external evidence confirms significant traction: 1,600+ marketplace sellers, 10,000+ newsletter subscribers, and verified revenue from paid market reports. The platform serves a critical role in the niche supply chain, justifying a strong utility score despite the niche reach. The 'space-technology' claim likely refers to data sourcing rather than core capability.
