Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Long Calgary is a legitimate, high-utility local initiative anchored by the physical 'House 831' space and backed by credible tech founders (Tate Hackert). While the submission text was informal and hyperbolic ('most people have used my product'), independent verification confirms active events, a real membership base, and meaningful local impact. The project successfully serves the Calgary tech ecosystem, though it lacks broader technical innovation or global reach.
