Category Standard

MegazoneCloud is a verified 'unicorn' status Managed Service Provider (MSP) based in South Korea with a valuation exceeding $1.8B and significant enterprise traction (Samsung, LG, Lotte). Despite the high real-world utility and massive scale, the submission quality was notably poor (e.g., vague 'everyone' audience, hyperbolic 'most people' traction claim, and a likely pseudonym 'ThunderRider'). The project scores extremely high on utility and traction due to verifiable external data, but suffers a penalty on response quality.
