If you continue developing this, I recommend completely scrapping the UI and finding a person or AI who can create something usable. What you're showing there is really that bad -- if you consider it acceptable, and expect to be able to sell it, then you really need to partner up with someone who knows what they're doing.

To be clear: as a prototype, it's more than fine. As long as the UI isn't the innovation, make it real first and experiment with it as much as you can. Show it to users, see whether they understand it and see the value. As a domain expert, making your ideas real in any way will make it easier to bring others on board who can create a pleasant experience.

The UI you're showing now looks more like a bag of controls thrown on a page by a backend engineer in 2006 and less like a B2C product in 2026. Various boxes all over the place, weird colors, misalignment, inconsistent spacing, confusing what does what, a random calculator(?) in the middle of the screen, unclear abbreviated labels. It needs so much work that a full rethink might be in order.
