Category Standard

Wandera is a highly successful enterprise mobile security company, acquired by Jamf for $400M in 2021. The project demonstrates exceptional traction, real-world utility, and market relevance. However, the submission quality is notably poor (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience, selecting 'space-technology' as a tag, and using the handle 'ShadowHunter'). Despite the low-effort submission, the verifiable business achievements ($400M valuation, 250+ employees) drive a high score, significantly dampened by penalties for the inaccurate audience claims and vague descriptions.
