Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and has a year-end of December 31st.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.

Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity and Going Concern | Liquidity and Going Concern
We have incurred recurring losses since inception and expect to continue to incur losses since the Company does not have any revenue stream. On December 31, 2024, we had $735,814 in cash. Our net income incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $4,103,067, but was a result of changes in fair value of derivative liabilities. The working capital deficit was $5,856,791 on December 31, 2024. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities or raise additional funds, we may be required to delay, reduce or severely curtail our operations or otherwise impede our on-going business efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through increased revenues and future financings. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Cash and Cash Equivalent | Cash and Cash Equivalent
Cash is comprised of cash balances. Cash is held at major financial institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent that those balances exceed applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance amounts of $250,000. From time to time, the Company has certain cash balances, including restricted cash, that may exceed insured limits. The Company utilizes large banking institutions that are reputable, therefore mitigating the risks.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. The more significant accounting estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities, earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares, preferred series C stock and excise tax payable. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” equals or approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets, except for the derivative liabilities (see Note 8).
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivative Liabilities | Derivative Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and the forward purchase agreement, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“ASC 820”), the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding. At the date of the merger, the initial fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Black-Scholes model. Subsequently, the fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using this same Black-Scholes model. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as current liabilities (See note 6 for more details on warrants).
The company earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares (“earnout shares”) as defined in the business combination agreement are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“ASC 820”), the Company recognizes the earnout shares instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding. At the date of the merger, the initial fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequently, the fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using this same Monte Carlo simulation model. Derivative earnout shares liabilities are classified as current liabilities (See note 7 for more details on earnout shares).

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share |
Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the year as defined by FASB, ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The Company has dilutive shares of common stock derived from two convertible notes and the series C preferred stock as of December 31, 2024 and dilutive shares of common stock as of December 31, 2023.
The calculation of diluted net (loss) income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of shares of Class A common stock and the earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares as defined in the business combination agreement an aggregate of shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income (loss) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Interest and penalties in any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized as interest expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Notes Payable | Notes Payable
The Company issued various notes payable to related parties. These notes payable included original issue discounts and debt issuance costs.
Original issue discounts. The Company accounts for the original issue discounts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 835-30, Interest and Imputation of Interest, which requires the Company to record the discount as a contra-liability and amortize it over the term of the underlying note using the interest method.
Debt issuance costs. The Company accounts for debt issuance costs in accordance with ASC No. 470-20, Debt, which requires the Company to recognize a contra-liability for costs incurred with the issuance of debt instruments. These contra-liabilities are amortized over the term of the underlying note payable using the interest method.

Related Parties | Related Parties
In accordance with ASC 850 “Related Party Disclosure”, a party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Series C Preferred Stock | Series C Preferred Stock
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company amended and restated its charter to include the designation of a Series C Preferred Stock. The Amended and Restated Charter authorizes the issuance of shares of preferred stock, shares of which have been designated as Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), and shares of which will be undesignated. Based on the characteristics and rights of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company is reporting it as Mezzanine Equity (Temporary Equity) on its consolidated balance sheets. These shares were valued at the date of issuance using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The Company determined that subsequent changes to the carrying value of the series C preferred shares will not be recognized until Redemption becomes probable of occurring. See Note 9 – Mezzanine Equity for further details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Standards: Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 12 – Segment Information for further details. |
