Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Lifelight (by xim Ltd) is a legitimate, high-potential digital health project with significant regulatory achievement (CE Class IIa for rPPG contactless vitals). While the submission itself was poor (inaccurate team size, gibberish revenue figures, exaggerated 'everyone' reach), external verification confirms strong foundations: over $10M in funding, NHS partnerships, and integration with the myGP app (3M potential reach). The project scores highly on Innovation and Utility due to the medical-grade nature of the technology, but lower on Reach and Traction compared to mass-market giants due to its current early commercialization phase. The score is heavily penalized by the low-quality submission data but redeemed by verifiable external evidence.
