Industry Mainstay

90 Seconds is a verified, established global video production platform (Series B, ~$35M funding, estimated $35M+ annual revenue). The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and traction, significantly outperforming the calibration benchmark in scale and financial success. However, the specific submission data provided was of very poor quality, containing hallucinations ('space-technology'), false claims ('most people have used my product'), and vague data ('marketcap: null'). While the project's actual metrics place it in the top tier (400-700+), the 'Quality Factor' penalties for the unreliable submission heavily impacted the technical, reach, and traction sub-scores.
