Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Fernarzt is a legitimate, established telemedicine provider in Germany, acquired by the HealthHero group in 2020. The project demonstrates high real-world utility and significant verified traction (thousands of monthly treatments, major acquisition). However, the submission quality itself is extremely poor, containing vague hyperboles ('most people have used my product') and confusing metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000'). The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals, heavily penalized by the low quality of the provided evidence.
