Category Standard

ShakeDeal is a highly established B2B e-commerce platform in India with significant verified traction ($17M+ estimated revenue, acquisition by Vora Ventures, 130+ employees). While the project itself operates at a high scale with strong real-world utility for enterprise procurement (clients include Adani, Tata), the submission quality was exceptionally poor, containing hyperbolic and false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the verified operational success of the business, penalized significantly in the 'Response Quality' and 'Innovation' metrics due to the lack of detail provided in the input.
