Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Altalog is a software engineering agency specializing in ML and distributed systems. The submission suffers from extremely vague and exaggerated claims, such as stating 'most people have used my product' and an audience reach of 'everyone'. The reported monthly revenue metric ('all time marketcap: 500000') is unclear and unsupported. While the company's tech focus is market-relevant and a 30-person team suggests some operational scale since 2014, the profound lack of verifiable traction and poor submission quality result in a heavily penalized score.
