Category Standard

Verihubs is a verified, high-growth Y Combinator (S21) company providing critical AI-based identity verification infrastructure for Indonesia's largest financial institutions (BCA, Commonwealth Bank, etc.). External search confirms strong traction with ~$8M+ revenue and over 3M+ monthly API calls. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing lazy descriptions ('everyone', 'software development') and vague claims ('most people have used my product') without supporting evidence. The high score reflects the verifiable reality of the business's scale and utility, significantly penalized by the 'Response Quality' metric due to the poor submission effort.
