Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

SonderMind is a verifiable 'unicorn' in the mental health space with a valuation exceeding $1B and significant real-world utility. However, the submission quality is exceptionally low, featuring a pseudonym ('FrostClaw'), exaggerated text claims ('most people have used my product'), and generic descriptions. The high score is driven entirely by the verifiable market data (Market Cap: $1B) and the known scale of the business, which places it in the top tier of impact despite the poor submission effort.
