Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

The project represents a legitimate, high-value healthcare infrastructure entity (HITS eHealth Office/ClinicalConnect) with significant regional traction in Ontario, Canada. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring a likely alias ('GoldenFang'), vague claims ('most people have used my product'), and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 500000'). While the underlying entity is verifiable and critical (connecting 72+ hospitals), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence and professionalism in the submission forms. The high score relative to the poor submission reflects the verified real-world importance and scale of the existing service.
