Category Standard

Ori is a verifiable, high-growth AI infrastructure company (Series D, ~$178M funding, ~$42M ARR) addressing a critical market need for GPU compute. However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing vague claims ('everyone'), false user metrics ('most people have used my product'), and lazy descriptions ('Software Development'). The high score reflects the verifiable reality of the business entity and its significant market traction, heavily penalizing the submission's lack of effort and accuracy in the specific sub-metrics.
