SimplePractice is a market-leading practice management platform for health and wellness professionals, serving over 225,000 customers with estimated annual revenue exceeding $200M (acquired by EngageSmart/Vista Equity Partners). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, market fit, and traction (Unicorn-scale status), the submission quality was poor, containing vague claims ('most people', 'everyone') and inaccurate financial data ('marketcap: 17000000'). The score reflects the verified high value of the entity, adjusted for the low quality of the specific submission evidence.
