Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The submission represents NHSX, a major UK government digital health unit. While the entity possesses massive verifiable scale (impacting 67M+ people) and critical real-world utility, the submission quality is exceptionally poor. The project description is generic, the 'marketcap' revenue claim is factually incoherent for a government body, and the 'evidence of traction' is anecdotal despite widely available public data. The score reflects the undeniable high-impact reality of the NHSX mandate, heavily penalized for a lazy submission and the fact that NHSX as a standalone brand was merged into NHS England in 2022.
