Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Parable Health offers a practical computer vision-powered solution for chronic wound care, earning a solid real-world utility score. However, the submission is severely hampered by vague, unprofessional, and unsupported claims regarding audience reach, traction ('most people have used my product'), and financials. Consequently, it receives low quality multipliers across non-technical criteria, resulting in a final score reflective of minimal verifiable traction.
