Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

EasyROM App is a verified measuring tool for Value-Based Health Care, utilizing established Item Response Theory (IRT) and PROMIS methodologies. External validation confirms the project exists, operates as a non-profit/BV, and was a runner-up for the VBHC Prize 2020. However, the PoU score is severely impacted by the submission's incredibly low quality and factually incorrect claims (e.g., stating 'most people have used my product' while actual reach is limited to clinical pilots and regional use). Despite having a scientifically valid foundation and launch history dating back to 2017, the lack of verifiable scaling and the hyperbolic nature of the input data result in a score reflecting minimal proven traction.
