It answers, and every claim traces to a lens
✦ FOLKA
One line runs through the evidence: wellness versus medical device. The moment a product claims to detect rather than track, it crosses into FDA territory — where the cost of a wrong step isn't a poor rating but removal.
Where your everyday-wellness positioning sits relative to that line is the decision in front of you. I can lay out what each side costs and opens — but which side you build toward is your call, not mine.
