Industry Mainstay

FamPay (now FamApp) is a verified, market-leading fintech solution for Indian teenagers with over 10 million registered users and significant venture backing (~$42M). While the project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and verified traction (top-tier UPI app), the submission itself was of poor quality (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as audience, vague traction claims like 'most people'). The score reflects the project's high intrinsic value and scale (unicorn potential), heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence provided in the submission and a low response quality factor.
