Unicorn Utility

Twist Bioscience is a verified publicly traded company (NASDAQ: TWST) and a leader in synthetic biology with a market cap exceeding $1.9B. While the underlying entity demonstrates exceptional real-world utility, technical innovation, and traction, the specific submission provided is of low quality, featuring exaggerated audience claims ('everyone') and data inconsistencies (market cap listed as revenue). The high score reflects the verified massive scale and impact of the technology, adjusted downward slightly due to the poor quality of the submission details.
