Category Standard

Podscribe is a verified, leading independent attribution and verification platform for podcast advertising, serving major enterprise clients like Toyota and Wells Fargo. Despite the submission's low quality and exaggerated claims ('everyone' as audience), external validation confirms the project's high real-world utility, advanced AI/ML technical implementation, and significant market traction (billions of impressions verified). The low response quality score reflects the poor submission effort, but the project itself is a high-value B2B SaaS.
