Bark.com is a major, established services marketplace (acquired by EMK Capital) with estimated annual revenue over $40M and significant global reach, positioning it well above the calibration baseline in terms of scale. However, the project submission itself was of low quality (generic copy-paste, hyperbolic claims), and the platform faces significant negative sentiment regarding lead quality ('scam' allegations by professionals). The score reflects high commercial traction and reach, penalized for operational reputation issues and a poor submission effort.
