Openforwards is a legitimate, award-winning therapy service in Birmingham, UK, with a verifiable 9-year operating history and a partnership with health-tech platform UniWellbeing. However, the project submission contains significant red flags, including false traction claims ('most people have used my product'), incorrect terminology ('marketcap' for revenue), and a likely pseudonym ('IronHeart') for the submitter. While the business has high real-world utility and some digital reach through its university partnerships, the submission's lack of seriousness and the localized nature of the core service result in a low PoU score relative to scalable technology projects.
