Gaining Momentum

Cavago is a legitimate, venture-backed equestrian booking platform (Airbnb for horses) with verified traction (~$1.5M funding, >500 hosts, claimed >$1M revenue). However, the submission quality is abysmal, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and confusing metrics. The project itself has strong utility in a niche market and solid operational history (founded ~2018), warranting a score comparable to established niche brands despite the unprofessional submission.
