Received Digital is a legitimate B2B SaaS product for mailroom management with verifiable clients in the government and education sectors (e.g., City of Albuquerque, UW-Green Bay). However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing typos ('Digitalis'), missing data, and demonstrably false claims regarding audience reach ('everyone' and 'most people'). While the solution has high real-world utility for its niche and a moderate level of technical maturity (OCR, auto-notifications), the score is heavily penalized by the submission's lack of credible evidence and the exaggeration of traction. The project fits the 'Minimal Traction' calibration bracket due to its niche nature and early stage relative to mass-market standards.
