Unicorn Utility

XTransfer is a verified fintech unicorn (valuation ~$1.3B) serving 800k+ SME clients, solving a critical problem in cross-border B2B payments. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and verified traction well above the maximum calibration scale. However, the submission itself was of very low quality (containing factual errors like a $17M market cap and vague claims like 'everyone'), resulting in a severe penalty to the Response Quality metric and reduced Quality Factors across other categories.
