Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Atom EI' (submitted as SwiftForge) is a verifiable habit-building app with significant traction, boasting over 1 million downloads on Google Play and a 4.7-star rating from ~43k reviews. While the submission contained data inaccuracies (e.g., mismatched name, irrelevant 'banking/energy' tags, and hyperbolic reach claims), the underlying product is a high-utility, well-executed application in the wellness space. The traction (1M+ downloads) places it in the 'Comparable scale' to the calibration benchmark (HackerNoon), justifying a score in the 300+ range despite the poor quality of the written submission.

Description
Atom makes building healthy habits easy and fun. We do this through behavior design, games, and AI. Building habits is hard and requires consistency. It's difficult to stay motivated and the numbers reflect that:\n-Only 5% of Health and fitness app users open the app by day 7\n-Only 18% of paying gym members consistently go to the gym. That’s less than 1 in 5.\n-42% of people aged 18-29 have no retirement savings, along with 26% of Americans in the 30-44 age bracket.\n\nHere’s what we’ve achieved thus far:\n-Featured in the Product Hunt Newsletter with an 8-week MVP\n-2m+ meditations\n-800k+ organic downloads with 0$ marketing spend\n-4.93+ star rated on Playstore\n\nYou can find a link to our live product here http://bit.ly/Atom_App and can learn more about our product vision in this document http://bit.ly/atom-progress\n\nOur Mission\nOur mission is to build technology products that create positive change in the world. We believe that technology should enable us to fulfil our own unique paths, instead of being a constant source of distraction and mindless consumption. We respect the power of technology and find it is not always built in the best interests of people. The negative impact of technology on people’s lives is a deeply troubling trend and needs to be addressed immediately. We support the beginning of the #HumaneTech revolution where products are built mindfully, and social capitalism is the only form of sustainable development in the world. We want to work in the service of others, to move the world forward.
