Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

The West Midlands Health Tech Innovation Accelerator (WMHTIA) is a verified, high-impact government initiative backed by £18M+ in public funding and £50M+ in private co-investment, supporting 114+ enterprises. However, the submission itself ('LunarForge') was of extremely low quality, containing false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'marketcap 2.5M') and vague data. The score reflects the verified high utility and traction of the actual program, adjusted heavily for the disconnect in the submission quality. The low Response Quality score penalizes the lack of effort in the input data.
