Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Curology is a verified, market-leading teledermatology company with significant scale, revenue, and user adoption (millions of users), fitting the criteria for a high-value enterprise. However, this specific submission was of extremely poor quality, utilizing hyperbolic placeholders ('most people have used my product', 'audience: everyone') and missing financial data. The final score reflects the high real-world value and traction of the company, significantly dampened by low Quality Factors (0.5-0.7) due to the lack of evidence provided in the input text.
