Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Principles of Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars in conformity with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. All figures are in thousands of Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise. |

Emerging Growth Company | Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2 (a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (specifically, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. |

Reverse Recapitalization | Reverse Recapitalization Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, for financial accounting and reporting purposes, Robinson was deemed the accounting acquirer with Pono being treated as the accounting acquiree, and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Robinson, with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Robinson issuing stock for the net assets of Pono, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Pono were stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and were consolidated with Robinson financial statements on the Closing Date. Operations prior to the Closing Date are presented solely as those of Legacy Horizon. The number of Legacy Horizon common shares for all periods prior to the Closing Date have been retrospectively decreased using an exchange ratio that was established in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”). Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company gave effect to the issuance of 7,251,939 shares of Common Stock for the previously issued Pono common stock and Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) Shares that were outstanding at the Closing Date. The Company raised $4 in proceeds, net of redemptions of Pono public stockholders of $140.0 million and reimbursements for Pono’s expenses of $4.5 million, and $2.7 million of cash in connection with the PIPE Financing. Robinson incurred $3.1 million in transaction costs, satisfied by a combination of cash and common stock, consisting of banking, legal, and other professional fees, and assumed a $16.6 million derivative liability related to a Forward Purchase Agreement, $1.0 million warrant liability, and $0.4 million of accounts payable from Pono.

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make judgements, 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 expenses during the reporting period. Making judgements, estimates, and assumptions requires management to exercise significant approximations. 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 an estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes the most significant judgements, estimates, and assumptions for the period include those in connection with Financial Instruments, Business Combinations, Going Concern, and stock-based compensation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of May 31, 2025, and May 31, 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between income for financial statement purposes and income for tax purposes as well as operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expenses or recovery result from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Any interest and penalties are recorded as part of income tax expense. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, it is likely that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred taxes are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates. Interest and penalties, if applicable, are recorded in the Company’s statement of operations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Net Income (loss) Per Share | Net Income (loss) Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options, Convertible debentures, and Convertible promissory notes were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the year-ending May 31, 2024, as including them would have been anti-dilutive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities. |

Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs The research and development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development, which requires all research and development costs be expensed as incurred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation Our stock-based compensation awards consist of stock options and performance share units (“PSU’s”) granted to employees and non-employees. We recognize stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards to be based on the grant date fair values of the awards. We estimate the fair value of share options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. Determining the grant date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions and judgments, including but not limited to the following: Expected term — The estimate of the expected term of employee awards is determined in accordance with the simplified method, which estimates the term based on an averaging of the vesting period and contractual term of the option grant. Expected volatility — Expected volatility used is based on the volatility of similar entities (referred to as “guideline companies”) for a period consistent with the expected term of the award. Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate used to value awards is based on the Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant for a period consistent with the expected term of the award. Dividend yield — We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Forfeiture rate — We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and will record stock-based compensation expense assuming all option holders will complete the requisite service period. If an employee forfeits an award because they fail to complete the requisite service period, we will reverse stock-based compensation expense previously recognized in the period the award is forfeited. Vesting conditions — We have evaluated the likelihood of vesting in recognition of stock-based compensation awards. |

Property and Equipment, Net | Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts, and any difference between the selling price and net carrying amount is recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We review our long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such triggering events or changes in circumstances may include: a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being or intended to be used, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, the impact of competition or other factors that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, a significant adverse deterioration in the amount of revenue or cash flows expected to be generated from an asset group, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of a long-lived asset, current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset, or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. We perform impairment testing at the asset group level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets including any cash flows upon their eventual disposition to their carrying value. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the forecasted undiscounted cash flows, then the assets are written down to their fair value. We determined there was no impairment of long-lived assets during all periods presented. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations. For derivative instruments that are classified as equity, the derivative instruments are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value), and subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized so long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity. The Company’s Forward Purchase Agreement was recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the instrument as an asset or liability at fair value and with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement was measured at fair value using a simulation model. The Forward Purchase Agreement was terminated on November 1, 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Warrants | Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. The warrants were determined to be recorded as liabilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Public Warrants | Public Warrants The measurement of the Public Warrants as of May 31, 2025, is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker “HOVRW.” The quoted price of the Public Warrants was $0.08 per warrant as of May 31, 2025. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Government Grants | Government Grants The Company receives payments from government entities primarily for research and development deliverables as part of ongoing development of the Company’s technology and future services offering. Under the Company’s accounting policy for government grants received as a payment for research and development services, grants are recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which these services are provided and are presented as other income in the statement of operations. Effective June 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 832, Government Assistance. |
