Pure vitamin with churn-by-recovery: users heal and leave, and knowing flexion is 92° not 85° changes no one's rehab. Worse, reliable joint-angle measurement from a 2D phone camera in sweatpants at a bad angle is beyond a solo build, and a 15° error destroys trust on first use, as the brief's own failure mode concedes. This is a pure vitamin product; aging athletes already do their required physical therapy exercises, and knowing their exact knee flexion angle via an app won't alter their recovery outcome or eliminate the need for an actual therapist.

PIVOT · 40/100. Real demand, but the shape needs to change.
Pure vitamin with churn-by-recovery: users heal and leave, and knowing flexion is 92° not 85° changes no one's rehab.

Of 20 a community recovery-video posters, eight return to upload a SECOND tracked video a week later (real tracking behaviour), not just compliment the overlay; retention, not interest, is the test. 10 users in a community pay $15 upfront for you to manually calculate and overlay joint angles on their recovery videos.
Aging athletes and action sports enthusiasts are suffering from severe, long-term injuries (like a 58-year-old skater's "slam in March that was much worse than it should have been" - 22,312 upvotes) but lack affordable rehab options. Traditional physical therapy is generic and too expensive for long-term, out-of-pocket care ("Insurance is killing me" - 4,742 upvotes). Patients have absolutely no objective way to measure their joint mobility progress at home month-over-month.
