The submission contains significant discrepancies, listing the name 'WhisperStone' while describing and linking to 'Vignan IoT'. Verification confirms 'Vignan IoT' exists as an educational and services initiative likely connected to Vignan University in India. However, the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is factually incorrect and severely damages credibility. The project appears to be a legitimate but early-stage or student-led venture with minimal global footprint. The vague technical details ('Internet') and low-quality submission result in a low Proof of Usefulness score.
