Certified Problem Solver

Lawfully is a well-established legaltech utility with significant verifiable traction (500k+ downloads, 730k+ cases). The platform addresses a high-anxiety pain point (immigration tracking) with AI-driven probability models, demonstrating excellent real-world utility. While the specific form submission contained lazy responses (e.g., 'most people', 'everyone'), the project description and external validation confirm it is a functional business comparable to the benchmark in maturity. The score reflects strong product-market fit and traction, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the submission fields.
