Industry Mainstay

The project 'SwiftShade' appears to be a submission for 'Gojek', the Indonesian decacorn and Super App. While the entity itself possesses massive real-world utility, reach, and traction (verified via external knowledge of the GoTo Group), the submission quality is extremely low. The entry uses a burner-style email (@gojek.io is valid but the username is numeric), provides a fake or joke market cap ('1000000001'), and offers 'most people have used my product' as the only evidence of traction. The high score reflects the undeniable scale of the underlying company, heavily penalized by the lack of specific evidence, copy-pasted description, and low-effort response quality.
