Certified Problem Solver

Tomplay is a high-utility, established SaaS product (founded 2013) with verified traction (40k+ reviews, ~1M monthly visits, #45k Global Rank) and significant partnerships (Deutsche Grammophon). Despite a low-quality submission ('most people have used my product', missing revenue data), the verified technical innovation (interactive sheet music with real audio) and market presence justify a strong score. The project outperforms the calibration baseline (HackerNoon) in utility and innovation, though raw traffic volume is lower.
