Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Dial4242 is a verifiable, high-utility ambulance aggregation platform in India with ~$1M annual revenue and over 1M completed trips. While the submission itself was poor (exaggerated claims, missing details), external due diligence confirms a legitimate business founded in 2016 with significant B2B partnerships (Swiggy, Zomato) and pan-India reach (850+ cities). The score reflects the critical 'life-saving' utility and verified traction, balanced against the poor quality of the submission and the 'comparable scale' calibration benchmark (similar revenue to HackerNoon).
