Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Alpha Medical (Hello Alpha) is a legitimate, Series B funded telemedicine startup with significant real-world utility, serving over 150,000 women across 40+ states. However, the submission itself contained hyperbolic and demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and incomplete data ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the high intrinsic value and verified traction of the company ($35M+ funding), heavily penalized by the low quality and inaccuracy of the submission data.
