CX Today is a verifiable and established B2B media publication focusing on customer experience technology, with a confirmed community of ~40,000 professionals (LinkedIn). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and nonsensical revenue data ('marketcap 500000'). While the project itself has real-world utility and verified niche traction, the poor quality of the application and the mismatch between the claimed team size (125) and implied revenue metrics significantly suppress the score. It falls into the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bucket due to its niche scale (<50k active monthly users estimated) and lack of substantiated growth evidence in the submission.
