Category Standard

A-Mark Precious Metals is a publicly traded (NASDAQ: AMRK) Fortune 500 company with billions in revenue, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and traction. However, the submission itself was low-quality, using a generic 'DeepStorm' project name and vague claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the massive scale and legitimacy of the underlying entity, significantly adjusted downward for the lack of technical detail and poor response quality in the application.
