Industry Mainstay

Project is verified as Walla!Shops, a major Israeli e-commerce platform established in 1999 with estimated ~1.5M monthly visitors and significant annual revenue (>$50M). The entity demonstrates exceptional Real-World Utility and Traction, fitting the 'Much larger scale' calibration tier (400-700). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality (vague claims, minimal effort), which severely penalizes the Technical Innovation and Response Quality metrics. The final score reflects a balance between the high value of the business and the poor quality of the application.
