Category Standard

Avochato is a verifiable, high-revenue enterprise messaging platform with significant market traction (Series A, G2 Leader). While the project demonstrates strong real-world utility and verified growth metrics (>$10M revenue track), the submission itself suffers from low-quality data entry in specific fields (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'). The score reflects the high value of the underlying business, adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission inputs and dated description text.
