Certified Problem Solver

The project 'Alberta IoT' is a verified, government-funded ($2.5M+) non-profit association with over 200 members, supporting the tech sector in Alberta, Canada. However, the submission itself (by 'StarWing') is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone' audience, 'most people' usage) and misused terminology ('marketcap' for funding). The score reflects the legitimate high traction and utility of the entity, severely penalized by the poor reliability of the submission data.
