THE BŌ — Stick Appraisal

About this app

—— Every stick deserves a proper appraisal. ——

THE BŌ (The World Stick Appraisal Bureau) is a global institution — or at
least an app that claims to be one — where AI appraisers examine the
"pretty good stick" you picked up on a roadside, riverbank, or hillside,
with complete seriousness.

■ How an appraisal works
1. Photograph your stick and submit it (naming where you found it is
optional, but provenance affects value)
2. The Bureau examines it on five axes: material, silhouette, weathering,
ergonomics, and provenance
3. You receive a certificate — a trading card — bearing a unique epithet,
a finishing move, four stats (ATK/MAG/DUR/WGT), an element, and a rarity
4. The card enters your private collection. Publish the ones you're proud of

■ Rarity is decided by total power, not by mood
Common / Rare / Epic / Legendary are determined strictly by the sum of the
four stats (total power, max 400) — never by an appraiser's whim.
The same score always yields the same rank. Our verdicts are reproducible.

■ The Hall of Records, and Respect
A permanent public gallery where sticks published by members worldwide are
displayed. When one moves you, you can pay it Respect (one per person,
revocable). When your card receives Respect, the Bureau notifies you.
Note: your own collection stays private. You choose what to publish.

■ Features
・A plain branch may be ruled a replica of a god-slaying spear — or
something the neighbourhood dog left behind
・Save cards as PNG and share them (only cards you choose to publish)
・Three free appraisals a day. Japanese / English / Español
・EXIF data (including location) is stripped from uploads on save

Every stick, the respect it is due.
