Certified Problem Solver

Sideways 6 is a verified, successful B2B SaaS platform acquired by Interact Software in 2023. While the submission itself was low-effort (pseudonym, vague claims), independent analysis confirms significant market traction with over 3 million users and enterprise clients like British Airways and Nestlé. The project demonstrates high real-world utility and a successful exit, justifying a high score despite the poor submission quality.
