Category Standard

Countly is a highly established, verified player in the product analytics market with significant scale (1.5B+ identities, 16k+ apps). The project demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Traction, positioning it well above the calibration baseline for established tech brands. However, the submission itself contained low-effort responses in key fields (e.g., claiming audience is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people'), which severely impacted the Response Quality score and prevented the total from reaching the 800+ tier. The project's privacy-by-design approach and open-source foundation provide strong technical merit.
