+110
Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission represents 'Alpine Technology Ltd', a legitimate UK-based distributor of M2M and IoT hardware established in 1994. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing unverifiable and likely false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone'). While the underlying business has real-world utility as a supply chain partner, it lacks proprietary technical innovation and the submission fails to provide credible evidence of traction. The 'marketcap' figure appears to be a hallucination or data entry error. The score reflects the existence of the business heavily penalized by the poor and misleading quality of the submission.
