Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Dr.Tail is a legitimate pet healthcare platform with verifiable traction, including ~$2.3M in funding and over 130,000 users (as of 2022). It addresses a clear real-world problem regarding veterinary accessibility and record management. However, the project submission is of extremely low quality, relying on hyperbole ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking precise current metrics. While the underlying technology and market fit are promising, the score is heavily penalized by the poor reliability of the provided input data.
