Kickoff (trainwithkickoff.com) is a verifiable, venture-backed company (Series A, ~$11M funding) with significant market presence and ~20,000 coaches, despite the submission containing low-quality, hyperbolic data (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and strong traction signals (2.6k+ App Store ratings) that far exceed the 'minimal traction' indicated by the submission form. The score is penalized significantly for the poor quality of the submission (vague claims, missing metrics) but buoyed by the objective reality of the business's scale and success.
