Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

Ro is a major telehealth unicorn with verified valuation ($7B) and significant market presence. Despite a low-effort submission containing hyperbolic language ('most people have used my product') and odd metadata tags ('construction'), the underlying business metrics place it firmly in the highest tier of scale and utility. The score reflects its established status as a market leader, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the submission text.
