Proof of Usefulness Score

Certified Problem Solver

Project identified as SwimTopia (submitted as 'BlazeBlade'), a verified and established SaaS for swim team management founded in 2011. Despite the low-effort submission ('audience reach: everyone', 'most people have used'), external search confirms the company is the market leader in the US summer swim league niche with ~1,800 customers and ~$1M-$2M estimated annual revenue. The product has high real-world utility and strong traction, but the submission quality was poor. Scoring reflects the robust business reality adjusted for the niche market size.
