Unicorn Utility

inDrive is a globally recognized 'unicorn' in the ride-hailing sector with significant real-world utility and massive market penetration (150M+ downloads). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional traction and solves a genuine problem through its peer-to-peer pricing model, the specific submission provided was low-effort (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and providing incorrect launch dates). The score reflects the immense verifiable value of the platform, slightly penalized by the lack of detail and evidence in the submission text.
