Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

NurseDash is a verified, legitimate on-demand healthcare staffing platform operating since 2017 with a substantial team (~30-80 employees) and presence in multiple US states. The project solves a high-utility problem (nursing shortages) with a proven business model. However, the specific submission provided is of extremely poor quality, containing false claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'), and lacking concrete data. Consequently, while the underlying company value suggests a high score, the final Proof of Usefulness is significantly penalized (Quality Factors of 0.5) due to the vague and unsupported nature of the input responses.
