Category Standard

Blueground is a verified global proptech leader with significant scale, valuation (~$750M), and utility in the flexible housing market. However, the submission itself is of poor quality, featuring hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and lazy audience definitions ('everyone'). The high score reflects the project's actual real-world success and verifiable financial data, despite the low-effort submission.
