Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Skip the Waiting Room is a legitimate, socially useful platform operating primarily in Atlantic Canada (PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick) with verifiable government adoption (Health PEI). It solves a genuine problem by allowing patients to book walk-in clinic visits and receive 'just-in-time' notifications. However, the submission is significantly marred by hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap: 2500000', likely referring to a small valuation or cumulative revenue). While the utility is high for its served region, the project lacks the global reach or scale to score in the upper tiers.
