Unicorn Utility

BillionToOne is a verified publicly traded unicorn (NASDAQ: BLLN) with ~$5B market cap and $250M+ annual revenue, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility in molecular diagnostics (prenatal and oncology). However, the submission itself was of low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and basic errors (listing market cap as monthly revenue). The score reflects the massive verifiable success of the entity, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the specific submission.
