Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Beacon Emergency Veterinary Hospital demonstrates high real-world utility as a 24/7 medical facility with significant operational scale (125 staff, ~$17M valuation/revenue). While the project exhibits strong business traction well above the calibration baseline, the submission suffers from hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and a lack of software-based technical innovation. The score reflects a robust, successful service business rather than a scalable technology product.
