Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Alluvial Software Inc. operates as a standard custom software development agency. While the company provides utility in DevOps, ML pipelines, and enterprise software, the submission is severely undermined by highly exaggerated and unsupported claims, such as an audience reach of 'everyone' and stating 'most people have used my product'. Given the team size of 6 and vague financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000' for a company launched in 2000), verifiable scale and traction appear extremely limited compared to established calibration baselines.
