Category Standard

Riskified is a publicly traded, established market leader in eCommerce fraud prevention with verifiable revenue in the hundreds of millions and a large workforce. While the project itself represents high-value technology with significant market penetration, the submission quality was notably low (vague claims like 'everyone' and informal username), resulting in a penalty to the response quality metric. However, the verifiable public status of the entity (NYSE: RSKD) drives the traction and utility scores to the upper brackets.
