DNSimple is a highly established, essential infrastructure service with verifiable traction (140k+ live domains) and strong real-world utility. However, the submission itself was of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking specific data. The score reflects the high value of the project (verified externally) significantly penalized by the 'Response Quality' and 'Evidence of Traction' quality factors due to the poor submission effort.
