Category Standard

Codashop (Coda Payments) is a verifiable 'unicorn' with a valuation exceeding $2.5B and massive global reach, validating the high scores in traction and utility. The platform solves a critical payment accessibility problem in emerging markets. However, the submission itself was low-effort (e.g., 'whosItFor: everyone'), resulting in a significant penalty to the Response Quality metric. Despite the lazy submission, the overwhelming verifiable evidence of market dominance warrants a high final score.
