Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Carbon Health is a well-established 'unicorn' in the healthcare space with significant real-world utility and verified large-scale operations. However, the submission itself is of very low quality (submitted by 'ShadowShade', incorrect tags like 'climatetech', and hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product'). While the underlying project is a verified market leader (valuation ~$3B), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of specific evidence and professionalism in the submission entry. The project fits the 'Much larger scale' calibration bucket but sits at the lower end due to the Quality Factors applied.
