8th Light is a highly established software consultancy (founded 2006) with strong verification signals including ~150 employees and estimated revenue of $25M-$40M, significantly exceeding the HackerNoon benchmark. While the company demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction, the submission itself was of very poor quality (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), necessitating a penalty in the quality factors. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals adjusted for the lack of specific evidence provided in the entry.
