Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Vertrical Group is a legitimate, scaling digital health consultancy with verifiable traction (50-200 employees, global presence) which significantly outweighs the low quality of the submission. While the user's claims of 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users are hyperbolic and unprofessional, external verification confirms a solid B2B enterprise likely generating $10M+ in annual revenue. The project scores highly on utility and traction but loses points on submission quality and precise audience definition.
