Category Standard

Mobile Premier League (MPL) is a verifiable 'unicorn' in the mobile gaming sector with a valuation exceeding $2B and over 100 million users, positioning it in the top tier of scale and reach. However, the specific submission provided was extremely low effort, offering vague claims ('most people have used my product') rather than verifiable data artifacts. While the project's real-world dominance drives a high base score, the lack of supporting evidence in the submission significantly penalized the Quality Factors, preventing the score from reaching the 800+ range typically reserved for well-documented successes of this magnitude.
