Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate and valuable organization (West of Scotland Innovation Hub) associated with the NHS. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and misused terminology ('marketcap' for a public sector body). While the underlying entity has high utility and regional reach, the data provided fails to substantiate this professionally, resulting in a low score driven by low quality factors.
