Fondue (getfondue.com) is a verified, successful Shopify app that replaces coupon codes with cashback. The company raised $10.5M in Seed funding (2022) and was acquired by Postscript in July 2023. While the project itself has high utility, verified traction, and a successful exit, the specific submission provided was extremely low quality (vague claims, 'leadership' as technology, no data). The score reflects the high real-world value and acquisition status of the business, heavily penalized by the poor response quality and lack of submitted evidence.
