Category Standard

Autodoc is a massive, verified European e-commerce giant with ~€1.5B in revenue and 8.4M+ active customers, placing it in the top tier of 'Real-World Utility' and 'Traction'. However, the submission quality was abysmal: it significantly understated revenue (citing 300M 'marketcap' vs actual €2.4B valuation), provided vague traction claims ('most people'), and lacked technical detail. The high score reflects the objective reality of the business entity found via external verification, severely penalized by the poor response quality and a conservative randomization factor.
