EssentiallySports is a highly successful, verified sports media platform with significant scale (approx. 30M monthly visitors, 200+ employees, and estimated $8M-$25M annual revenue). While the submission itself was low-quality (vague claims like 'most people', missing revenue data), external validation confirms it significantly outperforms the calibration baseline (HackerNoon). The project scores highly on traction and reach but lower on technical innovation (standard media stack) and response quality.
