PeerVitalSquad matches students with 2-4 buddy squads for mutual health check-ins, video pledges, and streak sharing—creating emotional bonds free uni programs lack. Track together via shared dashboards, with AI matching by dorm/major. This peer pressure model slashes churn, premium squads at $30/mo unlock pro matching/tools.
