Category Standard

Parity Technologies is a widely recognized infrastructure leader in the Web3 space, serving as the core contributor to Polkadot. While the project itself has immense real-world utility and technical sophistication, the submission quality is exceptionally low. Claims such as 'everyone' for audience reach and 'most people have used my product' are factually incorrect exaggerations, and the provided market cap data is confusing. Consequently, the score reflects high technical and utility value, heavily penalized by low-quality evidence and poor response clarity.
