Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

alwaysAI is a verified, venture-backed Series A company (founded 2018, ~$16M funding) offering a robust computer vision platform for edge devices. While the submission itself was of extremely low quality—containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data—independent verification confirms significant real-world utility, estimated annual revenue of ~$6M, and a team of ~40-50 professionals. The project scores highly on utility, innovation, and verifiable traction, heavily penalized only in the 'Response Quality' and 'Audience Reach' confidence metrics due to the poor submission data.
