PINK (pinksapp.com) is a verified B2B/B2C beauty salon booking platform operating in Saudi Arabia with functional mobile apps and a bilingual interface. While the project has verifiable real-world utility and a clear regional market fit, the submission itself was of low quality, featuring hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and confused financial metrics ('marketcap' listed as revenue). External validation confirms the app's existence and active status since roughly 2021/2022, but traction appears to be niche/regional (<50k estimates based on review counts) rather than the 'everyone' reach claimed. The score reflects a functioning product penalized for poor submission evidence and limited verifiable scale compared to global standards.
