Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

ORCHA is a verified, high-impact organization serving as a critical infrastructure for digital health regulation, with confirmed partnerships (NHS, MHRA) and significant revenue (~$27M estimated). However, the submission itself is of very low quality, containing errors (project name 'WhisperGale'), vague claims ('audience: everyone'), and inaccurate financial terminology ('marketcap: 2500000'). The score reflects the high real-world utility and verified traction of the actual company, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of specific evidence in the submission text.
