Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Alfred Maritime is a verifiable, legitimate subsidiary of MEYER Group focused on maritime AI/IoT, evidenced by a team of 30 and established history (2019). However, the project submission itself is of very poor quality, containing demonstrable falsehoods (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' have used the product) which contradict the niche B2B nature of the business. These red flags in the response quality and traction evidence significantly penalized the score, despite the underlying entity's valid real-world utility and market relevance.
