Unicorn Utility

Stori is a verified Mexican fintech unicorn with a $1.2B valuation and over 3 million users, addressing critical financial inclusion needs for the unbanked. While the submission quality was extremely poor (vague, unsupported claims like 'everyone'), independent verification confirms exceptional market traction, significant funding ($212M+), and high real-world utility. The score reflects the project's massive scale and success, heavily penalized only in the Response Quality section.
