Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Wally Health is a verified, operating D2C dental care company with significant physical presence in NYC and Jersey City. External search confirms strong traction with over 25,000 members and ~$5M+ estimated annual revenue, exceeding the calibration baseline (HackerNoon). However, the project submission itself was extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), which resulted in a 50% Quality Factor penalty on the 'Evidence of Traction' and 'Response Quality' metrics. The score reflects a solid real-world business severely handicapped by a poor submission.
