Category Standard

Codility is a verified market leader in the technical recruitment space with estimated annual revenue of $25M-$50M and over 1,500 enterprise customers (including Microsoft and Tesla). However, the submission quality was extremely poor (generic claims like 'everyone' and 'most people', lack of data), which triggered significant penalties in the Response Quality and Traction Quality metrics. Despite the submission's negligence, the project's verifiable real-world scale and utility drive a high score consistent with a mature Series A/B company.
