Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Elion is a verified, high-potential B2B healthcare technology marketplace that has raised over $12M in funding (including a $9.3M seed round led by NEA) and claims adoption by 60% of U.S. health systems. The platform solves a critical problem in digital health procurement with high market relevance. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., audience reach is 'everyone', traction is 'most people have used my product'). Consequently, while the underlying project fundamentals are strong, the score is heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the lack of credible evidence provided in the input.
