SnapSheet is an early-stage MVP offering a practical solution (PDF/Image to Excel conversion) for finance professionals. While the problem is genuine and the website is functional (launched ~Jan 2026), the project relies on commodity technology (likely API wrappers) and faces significant branding challenges due to a naming conflict with a major insurance software company. Traction is currently unproven, and the submission confuses general market search volume with actual project reach.
