Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents a technologically valid product ('Grow Football') with verified existence on the App Store and a significant 2022 partnership with Tottenham Hotspur FC. However, the submission is plagued by hyperbolic falsehoods (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and vague financial data ('marketcap: 50000'). External verification reveals that despite the high-profile partnership and advanced Computer Vision tech developed with Imperial College London, the app has failed to gain meaningful user traction, evidenced by fewer than 20 lifetime reviews over 3+ years. The discrepancy between the claimed reach ('everyone') and reality (negligible active users) heavily impacts the score, placing it in the range of a technically impressive but commercially stagnant initiative.
