Industry Mainstay

GetUBetter is a verified, high-traction digital health platform with significant NHS adoption (17 Integrated Care Systems, 20M+ eligible population). While the submission form contained sloppy placeholder data in key fields (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap: 50000'), independent verification confirms it is a CE-marked, NICE-endorsed solution with a claimed 4:1 ROI. The project scores highly on utility, reach, and traction, but suffers a severe penalty in 'Response Quality' due to the poor data entry efforts of the submitter.
