Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Talking HealthTech is a verified, established media and community platform in the Australian digital health sector, featuring a podcast with over 600 episodes. However, the PoU score is significantly impacted by the low quality of the submission data, which includes hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial metrics ('marketcap' vs revenue). While the project has genuine real-world utility and niche traction, the submission fails to accurately represent its scale compared to global benchmarks like HackerNoon (333). The score reflects a 'Small but Promising' niche business, adjusted for submission quality.
