Category Standard

Tremendous is a highly successful, verified fintech platform with over $2 billion in processed payouts and 10,000+ business customers (including Google and Visa). While the submission text itself was casual and lacked detail (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product'), external verification confirms it is a market leader in the rewards/payouts space. The company is profitable, self-funded, and has a team of ~100 employees, placing it significantly above the calibration baseline in terms of traction and utility.
