Certified Problem Solver

Learnyst is a legitimate, established EdTech SaaS generating estimated annual revenue of $2.5M with a team of ~40. While the platform demonstrates strong real-world utility and verifiable traction (300k+ students, $40M+ GMV), the submission quality was exceptionally poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and lazy data entry. This lack of effort and precision in the submission heavily penalized the Quality Factors for Traction and Reach, keeping the final score comparable to the HackerNoon baseline despite Learnyst's solid financial metrics.
