+603
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

First Stop Health is a legitimate, high-growth telemedicine company (Inc. 5000) with estimated annual revenue of ~$68M and significant employer market penetration (~1M members). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, submitted by user 'IronBlade' with unverifiable and exaggerated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ('17000000 marketcap' vs actual ~$68M revenue). While the project's real-world utility and verified traction are high, the score is heavily penalized by the poor submission quality and lack of direct evidence provided.
