Proof of Usefulness Score
Unicorn Utility

The project represents Epic Systems, the dominant US healthcare software provider, verified by the domain and launch date (1979). While the submission text is generic and lacks technical detail ('Computer Software'), the real-world utility, massive audience reach, and market traction of Epic are indisputable and verified externally. The score reflects the immense scale of the entity (10,001+ employees, industry backbone) while penalizing the low-effort submission quality and odd revenue formatting.
