Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

SimboAlpha (by Simbo.ai) is a legitimate healthcare voice AI platform addressing a high-value problem (physician burnout via EMR automation). While the submission contained hyperbolic and inaccurate claims regarding reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'), independent verification confirmed a functional product with proprietary NLU technology, a team of ~50, and established partnerships (e.g., WhiteCoats, SRIT). The project scores highly on utility and innovation but is penalized for poor submission quality and unverified user volume claims.
