Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

GoodRx is a massive, publicly traded healthcare platform with verifiable real-world utility and market dominance. The project solves a critical problem (drug pricing) for millions of users. However, the submission itself was of low quality, containing vague claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing market cap with revenue. Despite the poor submission effort, the verifiable scale and impact of the entity justify a high score, though penalized for lack of provided evidence and detail.
