Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Medidata Solutions is a verifiable industry leader in the clinical trial software space with massive scale (36,000+ trials, 11M+ patients) and was acquired by Dassault Systèmes for $5.8B. While the underlying entity scores nearly perfectly on utility, reach, and traction, the specific submission provided by the user 'IronGale' contains low-effort, hyperbolic responses (e.g., Reach: 'everyone', Traction: 'most people have used my product') and vague technical details. The final score reflects the immense real-world value and established market dominance of the platform, dampened slightly by the poor quality of the submission data and the lack of specific technical evidence provided in the form.
