Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

MedScout is a verifiable, venture-backed company (Series A, ~$15M funding) with significant traction in the MedTech sales intelligence market (est. $5M+ revenue, 40+ employees). However, the project submission itself provided extremely poor, inaccurate, and low-effort data (claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users). The evaluation heavily favors the verifiable external reality of the business over the submission quality, though the 'Response Quality' score is penalized significantly. The project operates at a scale superior to the calibration baseline (HackerNoon), justifying a score in the 400–600 range despite the poor input.
