I submitted the document in question for my friend. I purposely put Google in the title because it's going to be a sponsored Google effort (as I understand it), and it will get more eyeballs on it for feedback. I also warned him ahead of time to expect less than polite responses and have been validated right out of the gate.

Yeah, there is no way this is a sponsored Google effort. Google would never put something like this out in public. My guess is that if Google finds out about this you’re gonna get shutdown, or maybe even fired (if the claim of being a google employee is actually legitimate). And google wouldn’t be using sheets and Appsheet, they’d be using their own contract tracing API. You put Google in the title to get hits. I don’t think google is at all involved with this.

  > You put Google in the title to get hits. Not hits. Eyeballs for review. This project attempts to address a critical need in very short time, and constructive feedback might help it succeed.

  I am part of a product team at Google called AppSheet. AppSheet.com was a Google acquisition in Jan 2020. I received approval to post this via social media and then I did so. You may be correct that this project and idea never sees the light of "production" day. We didn't and don't need the hits. We were trying to solve a particularly tricky problem. Thanks again for the feedback.
