Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

The project 'wayForward' (PsyInnovations Inc.) demonstrates exceptional success, having been acquired by DarioHealth for $30M in 2021. However, the submission is critically flawed, conflating the mental health platform with the video game developer 'WayForward Technologies' (launch date 1990, 'games' tags). While the verifiable exit and real-world utility in mental health justify a high score, the submission's inaccurate metadata and unprofessional traction claims ('most people have used my product') significantly reduce the confidence and quality ratings.
