Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

DrChrono is a highly established Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform with massive verifiable reach (27.7M patients). The project demonstrates exceptional traction and real-world utility, fitting the profile of a 'Much larger scale' entity. However, the submission itself was low-effort, utilizing copy-pasted marketing text and vague inputs for specific fields (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), which negatively impacted the Response Quality score. Despite this, the objective success of the platform drives a high Proof of Usefulness score.
