Green Story is a well-established B2B SaaS (founded 2015, ~55 employees) serving major sustainable fashion clients like PANGAIA, Hanesbrands, and thredUP. The project has high real-world utility, addressing critical greenwashing and compliance needs (EU Digital Product Passport). However, the submission quality was extremely poor (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone'), which significantly lowered the Traction and Audience scores due to quality penalties, despite verifiable external success. The score reflects a solid, revenue-generating company (est. $3M-$6M ARR) penalized for a low-effort submission.
