Certified Problem Solver

Skio is a high-utility, Y Combinator-backed subscription platform for Shopify merchants with verified significant traction (~$9M ARR, 1,000+ customers). However, the specific submission provided is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and lacking data. The final score reflects the strong underlying business value and market fit, significantly penalized by the poor quality of evidence and response in this entry.
