You're In Business

Blake's is a verifiable, long-standing niche media platform (est. 2015) serving Caribbean women, with active content across six categories. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false metrics (e.g., '17,000,000 marketcap', 'most people' as traction). While the project has cultural utility and longevity, the lack of innovative technology and the deceptive submission data severely impact its scoring relative to the benchmark.
