Category Standard

The submission represents Equifax Canada, a major subsidiary of Equifax (NYSE: EFX). While the submission data contains significant user errors (incorrect project name 'BlazeStone', placeholder revenue figures, and generic text), the entity itself is a pillar of the global financial infrastructure with verifiable massive scale, revenue, and utility. The score reflects the immense established traction and reach of Equifax, penalized slightly for the low quality of the specific submission inputs which lacked technical detail.
