Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Clipboard Health is a verified 'unicorn' status company with a valuation of $1.3B and estimated annual revenue exceeding $290M. The project addresses a critical real-world problem (nursing shortages) with high market fit. However, the submission quality was poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacking technical detail. The score reflects the massive verifiable success of the business, penalized significantly for the low-quality input data provided in the evaluation request.
