The project targets an important problem (nutrition for oncology patients) with a strong stated mission. However, the submission lacks credible data to substantiate its claims, relying on vague statements such as 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' rather than verifiable metrics. The 'marketcap' figure is unclear and poorly aligned with a private healthcare service. Without demonstrable traction, active user metrics, or a validated technical approach, the project falls into the minimal verifiable impact category.

Description
At addon.life, we generate on-demand evidence-based personalized nutrition plans for everyone with a history of cancer or a high risk for cancer by combining the latest trends in integrative medicine and machine learning to help answer the question of “What should I eat?”.

Our mission is to empower and educate cancer patients and caregivers with evidence-based nutritional guidance, ensuring that every dietary choice is as informed and scientifically grounded as cancer treatment decisions. We are committed to bridging the gap between nutrition and oncology, providing accessible, research-backed resources that support healing, well-being, and quality of life. Our team brings together decades of expertise in cancer research, cancer genomics, and data-driven software technology for cancer care. We are a multi-disciplinary group of clinical oncologists, biomedical scientists, nutritionists, and software engineers, committed to empowering cancer patients and caregivers with evidence-based, personalized nutritional guidance. By merging science and technology, we aim to transform how nutrition supports cancer treatment and recovery.
