Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

CertifyOS is a verified, venture-backed Series B company (raised ~$40M recently) with significant traction (~200 employees) and high real-world utility in the healthcare provider credentialing space. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing factually incorrect claims (e.g., audience is 'everyone', traction is 'most people') and lacking technical detail. The high score reflects the verified external reality of the business, heavily penalized by the low quality factors due to the poor submission data.
