Category Standard

SilverCloud Health is a highly established, clinically validated digital mental health platform with significant real-world utility and verified market success (acquired by Amwell). However, the specific submission provided for this evaluation was of extremely poor quality, containing hyperbolic and inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and lacking specific data. The high score reflects the verifiable reality of the project's scale and impact, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the lazy submission evidence.
