Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

Pathway Software is a verified, established UK-based healthcare technology provider (founded 2009) with legitimate products (WriteUpp, Therapy Manager) and significant NHS traction (5M+ appointments processed). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect audience definitions ('everyone'), and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 2500000', likely referencing £2.5M revenue/valuation). While the underlying business is robust and operationally successful (30-person team), the score is constrained by the lack of professional detail in the application and the mature, non-innovative nature of the tech stack.
