You're In Business

While 'CAD Sketcher' is a legitimate and highly innovative open-source project bridging Blender and CAD workflows (~3.2k GitHub stars), the submission itself is of extremely low quality. It contains demonstrably false claims (reach: 'everyone', traction: 'most people') and lacks basic professional details. The score acknowledges the verified technical utility and niche traction of the actual software, but is significantly suppressed by the submission's failure to provide credible evidence or accurate data.
