Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

accesSOS is a legitimate, high-impact non-profit backed by Google.org and PagerDuty, addressing a critical gap in emergency services (text-to-911). However, the submission quality is critically poor, containing verifiable falsehoods ('most people have used my product') and nonsensical data ('marketcap: null'). While the technology and partnerships are verified and excellent, the project is penalized significantly for the unprofessional submission and false user traction claims.
