2. APP PURPOSE SHIELD is a free, gamified scam awareness education app for everyday consumers. Americans lost $10B+ to fraud in 2023, yet there's no structured way for consumers to build scam recognition skills. Users take interactive quizzes built from real-world scam scenarios (phishing, romance scams, crypto schemes, etc.), track a Preparedness Score, earn achievements, and compete on a leaderboard. The core experience is free. Scam-to-Quiz: Users submit scam content (text, URLs, screenshots, or via iOS Share Sheet) which AI analyzes and converts into quizzes. Each submission uses 1 credit (premium subscribers get 10/month). Premium ($5.99/mo or $49.99/yr): 10 monthly submission credits plus a Scam Defense Score — a personalized risk assessment enriched with Have I Been Pwned breach data. 3.
