Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Ognomy is a legitimate, venture-backed telemedicine platform for sleep apnea with clear real-world utility. However, the submission quality is critically low, characterized by false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone' as audience) and garbage data fields ('all time marketcap: null'). While the core business is valuable (Series A funding, 18 providers), the hyperbolic and unprofessional submission details significantly penalize the Traction, Reach, and Response Quality scores. The 'space-technology' tag appears unsubstantiated.
