Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a standard local counseling service with no technological component. The entry contains significant red flags, including a likely pseudonym ('FrostBlade'), hyperbolic claims (audience reach 'everyone', traction 'most people have used my product'), and confused financial metrics ('marketcap' for a private practice). While the underlying business may exist, the submission lacks credibility, technical innovation, and verifiable traction suitable for this evaluation framework.

Description
Focusing recognizes that our bodies know and can tell us what we need for physical and emotional health. It allows us to notice our body's messages, and to experience ourselves at a deeper level. Focusing offers a way of sensing inwards when making decisions and working with inner blocks that prevent you from taking an action. Focusing is particularly helpful when working with trauma.
