Gym Class VR is a highly successful, verified project (the #1 VR basketball app) with over 1 million downloads, $8M+ in venture funding (a16z), and an official partnership with the NBA. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data. Consequently, while the project scores high on verified utility and traction, it incurs a significant Quality Factor penalty (0.5x) for the lack of evidence provided in the entry.
