Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Gratitude' (gratefulness.me) is a highly successful, market-leading journaling app with verified 5M+ downloads and 50K+ reviews on app stores. Despite the exceptional real-world traction and utility, the submission itself was of extremely low quality—providing no data, hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), and generic descriptions. The final score reflects a high-value asset penalized significantly for a lack of effort and evidence in the submission.
