+670
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Big Health is a well-established, clinically validated digital therapeutics company (Sleepio, Daylight) with significant real-world utility and market presence. However, the project submission itself was of very low quality, containing hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and lacking specific data. While the underlying company is a high-value 'unicorn' scale entity ($100M+ funding, NHS/CVS partnerships), the score is penalized by the submitter's lack of verifiable evidence and poor response effort. The evaluation credits the known external reality of the business while applying quality penalties for the submission's inaccuracies.
