Industry Mainstay

Bloom is a verifiable, established hospitality brand operating 50+ hotels in India with ~350 employees, demonstrating significant real-world utility and market presence well beyond the 'HackerNoon' calibration baseline. However, the submission quality is notably poor, relying on copy-pasted marketing copy and providing negligible specific evidence (e.g., 'most people have used my product' for traction). While the physical scale and business viability are high, the score is penalized by the lack of technical depth and the low-effort response quality.
