Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

FindARotation is a legitimate, functional niche marketplace for clinical rotations founded by Dr. Chase DiMarco, addressing a genuine pain point for medical students. However, the PoU score is significantly impacted by the poor quality of the submission, which includes incorrect data (wrong project name 'DeepKeeper'), grossly exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), and missing metrics. While the real-world utility is high, verifiable traction is minimal, and the submission's inaccuracies trigger penalty multipliers.
