Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The submission references 'WhisperWing' but points to iSmartWays Technology Inc., a legitimate Edmonton-based IoT/V2X provider founded in 2014. External validation confirms significant traction with government pilots (FDOT, Active Aurora) and automotive partnerships (SAIC), contradicting the low-quality submission claims ('everyone', 'most people'). The project demonstrates high real-world utility and technical competence in the Connected Vehicle space. However, the score is heavily penalized by the poor quality of the submission and the discrepancy between the claimed mass-market reach and the actual niche B2G/B2B operational model.
