Proof of Usefulness Score
Certified Problem Solver

StoreHippo is a verified, established SaaS platform (founded 2014) with estimated annual revenue between $7M-$11M and a team of 50-60 employees. The project demonstrates strong real-world utility with enterprise clients like Amul and Berger Paints, and utilizes modern MACH (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless) architecture. However, the submission quality was significantly lacking: the project name was listed as 'LunarForge' (a likely error), audience reach was claimed as 'everyone' (inaccurate for B2B), and traction evidence was hyperbolic ('most people have used my product'). Despite the low-effort submission, the underlying business reality warrants a high score comparable to established scale-ups, penalized slightly for the lack of direct evidence provided in the form.
