SpeedrunVerify: Auto-Validate Gaming Records
AI-powered tool that auto-detects anomalies in speedrun video submissions to help communities verify legitimate records without manual 6-hour reviews.
The Problem
Speedrun communities spend enormous volunteer hours manually reviewing video submissions frame-by-frame to catch cheating (emulator tricks, spliced footage, fake timer overlays). Moderators burn out, legitimate runners wait weeks for verification, and bad actors still slip through. There's no standardized way to flag suspicious patterns automatically.
Target Audience
Speedrun.com moderators and community leaders managing Mario, Zelda, Dark Souls, and indie game speedruns (thousands of active communities with 10-500 members each).
Why Now?
Speedrunning has exploded post-2020 (Games Done Quick raised $3M+ in 2024); communities now process 100+ submissions monthly and desperately need automation to scale.
What's Missing
Existing moderation tools are generic (Discord bots, spreadsheets); speedrun cheating requires domain-specific knowledge (emulator artifacts, timer glitches, splicing signatures) that only humans currently detect.
