- Critical failure in identification accuracy leads to immediate user frustration, which compounds the rating drag already visible on the store page.
The SWOT
- Data Matrix scanning for blind boxes provides a specific utility for CMF collectors.
- Integrating community-verified databases could improve identification accuracy.
