The Idea — The Passion Calculator

For the World Cup, FC Hogar created the Passion Calculator — an algorithm that predicted the odds of how events in a match could spark reactions that damage homeware.

Trained on two years of social media data, it graded 32 key match moments by passion level — and the higher the risk to Argentina's living rooms, the bigger the discount. Goal canceled by VAR? 32% off in TVs.
