The project 'Wayfield Ag' (incorrectly named 'WhisperForge' in the submission title) is a legitimate, early-stage Agritech startup in India focused on climate-resilient agriculture. External verification confirms incubation at IIM Kashipur, recognition by the Indian Ministry of Agriculture, and participation in the Dubai Expo 2022. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing false claims ('most people have used my product'), a mismatched project name, and zero valid user metrics. Actual revenue is minimal (~$10k/year), contradicting the reach claims. While the mission and government backing are strong, the commercial traction is in the pilot/seed stage, and the submission's lack of care heavily penalizes the score.
