Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Vinehealth is a highly successful, externally verified digital health platform (acquired by Sciensus in 2024) that significantly improves oncology outcomes. While the project itself has exceptional utility, proven traction (Series A funding, NHS partnerships, acquisition), and strong technical backing, the submission data was of extremely poor quality (containing false claims like 'everyone' for reach and 'most people' for traction). The score reflects the project's verified real-world success, heavily penalized in specific categories for the lack of evidence provided in the submission.
