Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission points to a legitimate, established non-profit (C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, est. 1943) with significant real-world utility in mental health. However, the submission quality is critically low: the project name 'Samaritan House' contradicts the description and URL, and claims like 'most people have used my product' are demonstrably false. As a non-profit service provider rather than a technology project, it lacks technical innovation and scalability, resulting in a low score despite the organization's reputable history.
