Manc Sport is a verified, active regional sports news platform launching in 2024, focusing on Greater Manchester. Search verified daily content updates and external validation as a finalist in the Football Content Awards 2024/25. However, the project submission quality was extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and nonsense financial data. While the project shows promise as a niche media outlet (fitting the 'Minimal traction' bucket of 0-100), the score is heavily penalized by the lack of credible user-submitted data and the exaggeration of reach.
