Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Included Health is a verified 'Unicorn' status healthcare company formed from the merger of Doctor On Demand and Grand Rounds, with a valuation exceeding $1.3B and millions of active members. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and market traction. However, the submission itself was of low quality, relying on hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'audienceReach: everyone', 'evidenceOfTraction: most people') rather than specific data. The high score reflects the objective reality of the business entity, penalized slightly for the lack of detailed evidence in the submission form.
