Prevent fake signups with a 5-minute email validation API targets a $150M = 250,000 SaaS and web apps with signup flows x $600 ARPA (api tier avg per year) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12-18% indicative growth for verification and anti-fraud tooling.
