Category Standard

Pharmacity is a verified 'Unicorn' scale pharmacy chain in Vietnam with massive real-world traction (~$44M online revenue, 900+ stores, millions of users). However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, providing almost no specific data or effort ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the undeniable high utility and market dominance of the entity, penalized by the lack of provided evidence and technical detail in the submission.
