Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The project is a service-based mental health business (retreats/coaching) rather than a technology venture, resulting in a low innovation score. The submission suffers from severe credibility issues, notably the demonstrably false claim that 'most people have used my product' and the misuse of financial terminology ('marketcap' likely referring to lifetime revenue). While the core service addresses a valid real-world problem (mental wellbeing), the vague reach definitions ('everyone') and lack of verifiable growth metrics place this firmly in the category of a small-scale local business with minimal traction relative to the PoU scale.
