Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The project represents a 'Zombie' submission. Westhouse Medical Services PLC is a dissolved UK entity (dissolved c. 2014) that is no longer operational. The description text is a direct copy-paste from a 2011 press release, referencing technology 'due to reach the market in 2012'. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is verifiable false and deceptive. Due to the company's dissolved status and the fraudulent nature of the traction claims, the project has zero utility and is assigned a negative score reflecting these red flags.
