Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Alfa8 appears to be a legitimate, recently established family office (founded ~2023) with a team of ~30 and a focus on green transition investments (COlab). However, the project submission contains severe quality issues and demonstrably false claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and an audience of 'everyone'). While the underlying business is real, the submission fails to accurately represent its traction or utility, and the stated 'marketcap' of 2.5M contradicts the implied scale of a 100-year shipping heritage. The score reflects the existence of the entity but heavily penalizes the unrealistic claims and lack of verifiable evidence provided.
