Collegedunia is a market-leading education portal in India with verifiable traction exceeding 20M+ monthly visits and significant revenue ($15M+), fitting the 'Much larger scale' calibration bucket (400-700). Despite a low-quality submission with vague claims, the platform's high utility and dominant market position drive a strong score. Penalties were applied for average technical innovation (standard web directory) and the poor effort in the response submission.
