GoCardless is a highly established fintech unicorn with significant global traction (100k+ businesses) and verifiable real-world utility in direct debit payments. However, the specific submission data was of poor quality, featuring lazy descriptions ('everyone', 'most people') and inaccurate financial labeling ('75M marketcap' vs actual multi-billion valuation). The score reflects the massive verifiable scale of the entity, penalized slightly by the lack of technical detail and effort in the application form.
