Shutterstock is a well-established, publicly traded global platform with massive real-world utility and verified traction far exceeding the calibration baseline. While the project itself is a market leader ($800M+ revenue, global reach), the submission quality was extremely low (brief descriptions, lack of technical detail, casual traction claims). However, due to the verifiable public nature of the entity, the score reflects its actual market dominance rather than the poor submission effort, though penalties were applied to 'Response Quality' and 'Technical Innovation' documentation.
