Category Standard

Team App (now Stack Team App) is a verified, highly successful platform acquired by Stack Sports in 2021, serving over 7 million members globally. While the project itself demonstrates massive scale, utility, and market dominance (exceeding the calibration baseline), the submission quality was exceptionally poor—providing no data and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the high verifiable value of the asset, significantly penalized by the lack of effort and evidence in the submission.
