Coastline Counselling Services is a legitimate local mental health practice offering valuable specialized therapies (EMDR, IFS) in PEI. However, as a traditional service-based SME (Subject Matter Expert/Small Medium Enterprise) rather than a scalable technology platform, it scores low on innovation and reach criteria. The submission contains significant inaccuracies, such as claiming 'most people have used my product' and misusing financial terminology ('marketcap'), which heavily impacts the credibility score. While the real-world utility for local patients is high, the project lacks the scale, technical novelty, and verifiable traction metrics typically required for a high Proof of Usefulness score in a technology context.
