Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

MerchantSpring is a verified, established B2B SaaS platform (founded 2017) generating an estimated $3.8M in annual revenue with ~25,000 connected accounts. It solves a high-utility problem for agencies by integrating data from 120+ marketplaces. While the project fundamentals are strong (exceeding the calibration baseline), the submission quality was extremely poor, containing false claims ('everyone', 'null revenue') and lacking evidence. The score reflects strong verified traction and utility, heavily penalized for submission reliability issues.
