Change Healthcare

+578
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project represents 'Change Healthcare', a verified major US healthcare technology company with significant scale (7,500+ employees claimed and verified) and critical infrastructure utility. However, the submission quality is exceptionally low, featuring copy-pasted descriptions (legacy Emdeon redirect), placeholder revenue data ('1000000001'), and vague traction claims. The score reflects the undeniable real-world impact and market dominance of the entity, severely penalized by the lack of specific evidence and effort in the submission. The result places it in the 'Large Scale' calibration tier, but at the lower end due to poor data presentation.
