Industry Mainstay

Tithe.ly is a verifiably significant player in the ChurchTech space with estimated annual revenue exceeding $50M and a team of ~200, confirming 'Much larger scale' status despite the poor quality of the submission. The project has high real-world utility and massive reach within its niche. However, the submission itself relies on hyperbole ('everyone', 'most people') and lacks specific metrics, which heavily penalizes the Response Quality and prevents the score from reaching the 600+ range typical for a company of this size.
