Category Standard

BlueStacks is a widely recognized, market-leading Android emulator with a massive global user base (1B+ downloads) and established utility in the gaming sector. While the project itself represents a 'Tier 1' technology entity with exceptional reach and traction, the specific submission provided was low-effort, containing vague claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data ('marketcap: null'). The score reflects the project's undeniable real-world scale and success (High Utility/Reach/Traction scores) balanced against a significant penalty for the poor quality of the submission evidence (Low Quality Factors).
