Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project 'Hour25.ai' (likely rebranded to Mind Guard) is a verifiable early-stage startup targeting digital resilience and productivity, backed by accelerators and pilots (e.g., ivy league universities, corporate partners). However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing blatant inaccuracies (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience) and missing data. While the underlying concept and technology (real-time behavioral intervention) have merit and market relevance, the disconnect between the submission's hyperbolic claims and the actual niche B2B/B2C traction significantly penalizes the score.
