Category Standard

Mistplay is a highly successful, established mobile gaming loyalty platform with significant verified traction (10M+ downloads, high revenue). While the project itself demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and market fit, the specific submission provided was low-effort, utilizing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and leaving key fields blank. The score reflects the massive real-world scale of the business, penalized slightly by the quality of the submission data.
