The project 'String' (meetstring.com) is a legitimate and valuable B2B SaaS tool for shipping rate optimization, particularly for ShipStation users. External search verifies its utility, including case studies of significant cost savings (e.g., $6,000/mo) and active development (FedEx One Rate integration). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' as audience, 'most people' have used it) and missing critical data (revenue, launch date). The score reflects the strong underlying utility and proven niche traction, heavily penalized by the lack of credible data provided in the entry.
