Unicorn Utility

Wayflyer is a verified fintech unicorn ($1.6B+ valuation) that has deployed over $5 billion to 5,000+ e-commerce brands, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and traction. However, the submission itself contained low-quality, inaccurate responses (e.g., claiming the audience is 'everyone' and that 'most people have used my product', which is false for a B2B service). The score reflects the massive scale and success of the actual business, heavily penalized by the poor quality of the input data provided.
