Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

TotalABA is a verified, established software platform for ABA therapy practices, founded in 2011 and acquired by Rethink First in 2022. While the project itself has high utility, significant market traction, and a successful exit, the submission provided contained extremely low-quality, inaccurate, and vague responses (claiming the audience is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people'). The score reflects the high real-world value and verified success of the actual company, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Audience Reach' metrics due to the poor submission data.
