Scout's Report
The consensus #1 pick. Highest overall grade in the class. Franchise quarterback who can do everything — networking, employment (8 hires/min), sales, education, content. No prospect in the modern era has posted these measurables at this scale (1B+ users, $15B+ revenue). However, content drill score declining year over year (AI noise). Premium contract demands escalating. Still the safest pick on the board — every team needs a QB1.
RED FLAGS
  • Content drill score declining (AI noise interference)
  • Algorithm favours high-usage prospects
  • Premium contract escalating ($29.99–$170+)
  • Organic visibility wearing for corporate teams
  • Telemetry routed through Microsoft scouting dept

One-Cut Back
Scout's Report
The fastest prospect in the class. Employment drill: 98 — the highest single-drill score on the board. Glassdoor co-prospect adds elite salary intelligence (88). But this is a one-dimensional athlete: zero networking, zero content, zero IRL. When you need to score fast, nobody touches him. Completely free contract — rare for a talent this productive.
RED FLAGS
  • Zero networking or social game
  • Glassdoor data freshness varies by region
  • Sponsored traffic may slow organic performance
  • Single-use: exits after scoring
  • Prospect data visible to paying scouts

Route Specialist
Scout's Report
The most transparent prospect in the class. Transparency drill: 98 — tied for highest single score on the board. Every listing shows salary AND equity. Direct line to founders. But can only play in one scheme (startup). Corporate teams can't use him. Small frame (8M users). A specialist who does one thing better than anyone — run the exact route nobody else will run.
RED FLAGS
  • Startup-scheme only — zero corporate versatility
  • Small prospect pool vs. #1 pick
  • Some tape from early-stage (unproven) programs
  • Not in mainstream scouting databases
  • Social game still developing

The Intangibles Guy
Scout's Report
The highest single-drill score in the entire class: Authenticity 99. This prospect can only be evaluated in person — his film doesn't translate to tape. Lunchclub AI creates the matchup. 52M+ across 190+ markets. LinkedIn is the scouting report. This prospect is the player who shows up to the facility, shakes your hand, and makes you forget the numbers. Zero employment production. Doesn't care. He's the reason you built the team.
RED FLAGS
  • Zero employment production in game tape
  • Must physically attend pro days
  • Hosting agent fees $20+/mo
  • AI matchmaking accuracy varies by market
  • Geographic constraints on scouting
