Sequin is a legitimate, high-utility developer tool backed by Y Combinator (S20) and ~$5.7M in seed funding. It solves a significant pain point (syncing SaaS data to Postgres) with strong technical execution. However, the submission itself contained low-effort, hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') which contradict the niche B2B nature of the product. The score reflects the project's high real-world value and verified external traction, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the specific input responses provided.
