Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'par8o' is a verified, legitimate healthcare referral management company founded in 2011 and acquired by Cloudmed (R1 RCM) in 2021. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing inaccurate claims (e.g., audience 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product') and generic data (technologies: 'leadership'). While the actual company has high real-world utility, covering over 11 million patient lives and processing millions of referrals, the score is penalized due to the submission's lack of professional detail and misrepresentation of the user base. The evaluation credits the verifiable external success of the business while heavily discounting the quality of the submission.
