Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Alvéole is a well-established urban beekeeping and nature-based solution provider with significant real-world traction (141 employees, 40 cities, B Corp status). The project has high utility and excellent market timing regarding ESG goals. However, the submission itself is of very poor quality, featuring exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product') and missing financial data ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals despite the low-effort submission.
