I'm familiar with computers, yes. I have a very limited amount of knowledge when it comes to coding. I have a lot of experience identifying cheaters and game integrity issues. I'm also very familiar with most of the poker software on the market these days and how they work. I'm not sure what you're getting at though.
GTOW is one program. If somebody attempts to use it to cheat then a site can contact them to confirm it happened. That's the partnership. I can assure you that's a good thing and not useless. It prevents players from using GTOW to cheat on sites that care.
If somebody uses some other program then you will not be flagged by GTOW's fair play check. This isn't to say that GTOW couldn't eventually develop tools to assist in catching users of other programs, but at the moment the partnership only offers the detection of players using GTOW whilst playing.
A bot ring of accounts all playing the same way, but making non-solver approved plays, will not be detected by GTOW. That detection is left up to the sites and typically requires somebody within site security to analyze the data and understand how the data doesn't match up with human play, even when it's not always solver approved.
