# Execution Scorecard: Mobile app that tracks badminton matches, rankings, and highlights Score: 65/100 Tier: Needs focused validation Mobile app that tracks badminton matches, rankings, and highlights scores 65/100 for execution readiness. The recommended next step is Recruit 3-5 local club organizers and run their next 4 weekly sessions through a no-code MVP (shared sheet + simple ELO script + a check-in form). Measure: do organizers keep using it unprompted week over week, do players ask for their rating between sessions, and would the organizer pay a monthly fee to keep the ladder running? Convert if 2+ clubs sustain use and an organizer commits to pay. ## Bottlenecks - Rating integrity depends on honest self-reported scores; without referees, disputed or fabricated results can erode trust in the ladder and require dispute/verification tooling. - Crowded adjacent space: scoreboard apps, the official BWF app, club booking suites, and incumbent UBR could each extend into the gap, so the social/ratings network effect must be won club-by-club fast. - Two-sided cold-start: a rating is only meaningful once a critical mass of a player's regular opponents are on it, so single-club seeding and organizer-led onboarding are essential. - Highlights add real cost and complexity (storage, editing, copyright/likeness of bystanders) and may distract from the core ranking value if shipped too early. - A broad AI assistant can flatten differentiation unless the wedge is painfully specific. - The first release can become a generic dashboard if the job is not named tightly. - Needs real buyer access, not only desk research. ## Accelerators - Can talk to the buyer before writing much code. - Can ship a narrow first-win demo quickly. - Can use local-first research artifacts to keep validation moving without a large team. - Use specificity as the wedge: one buyer, one workflow, one measurable result. - Show proof earlier than broad competitors with before-and-after examples and small pilot data. - Keep implementation lighter than incumbent suites or generic AI assistants. - Concierge review or paid template ## Dated Launch Plan - **2026-06-26 / Frame the wedge**: Write the one-sentence promise and test it in the strongest channel. Proof: Recruit 3-5 local club organizers and run their next 4 weekly sessions through a no-code MVP (shared sheet + simple ELO script + a check-in form). Measure: do organizers keep using it unprompted week over week, do players ask for their rating between sessions, and would the organizer pay a monthly fee to keep the ladder running? Convert if 2+ clubs sustain use and an organizer commits to pay. - **2026-06-29 / Interview 10 people who match the buyer persona.**: Create the lead magnet and use it to recruit interviews. Proof: Problem resonance: 5+ calls or 10+ detailed replies. - **2026-07-03 / Ship a clickable demo or concierge workflow that produces the first useful artifact.**: Build the smallest demo that proves the first win. Proof: Activation: 25% of demo visitors complete the first-win path. - **2026-07-10 / Run one paid pilot or collect explicit pricing objections before automating the rest.**: Delete any report section that feels generic before building. Proof: Commercial pull: 3 paid pilots, LOIs, or concrete procurement next steps. - **2026-07-17 / Promote to a deeper build plan only after the wedge survives validation.**: Run the lead magnet and first-win demo tests. Proof: Fewer than five qualified buyers agree to discuss the workflow after targeted outreach. - **2026-07-26 / Execution checkpoint 6**: Promote to deeper implementation only once the wedge survives interviews or paid-pilot outreach. Proof: Promote to a deeper build plan only after the wedge survives validation. ## Builder Prompt Create a dated execution plan for "Mobile app that tracks badminton matches, rankings, and highlights".
