Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Ekincare is a verified Series B health-tech company with ~$6.5M annual revenue, 200+ employees, and Fortune 500 clients. While the submission suffers from hyperbolic inputs (claiming audience reach is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people'), the underlying business is mature and highly impactful. External verification confirms significant market presence, awards (Global Digital Health 100), and a valuation of ~300 Cr INR ($36M+). The score reflects high utility and traction, penalized slightly for poor submission quality.
