Does the proposal effectively addresses the challenge?

Commenter gravatar

The proposal offers IIoT sensors on Cardano's eUTXO platform as a solution for food traceability and tracking. Due of the high cost and impossibility of gaining centralized certification for small-scale food producers, this would help to lower costs throughout the entire food supply chain. Their approach to implementation is comparable to scan trust's response to the wine from Baia that was highlighted by the Cardano Foundation. They claim that using IoT sensors could pose a risk to this project, but they also offer to offset this risk by paying someone to maintain the sensors. Their plan effectively tackles the issue since their Fetachain IoT will provide traceability to small-scale food producers, end food insecurity, and meet business objective.

The Fetachain - IIoT Cardano Framework proposal addresses DApps, Products & Integration challenge by proposing an automated B2B & B2C food traceability & tracking solution using IIoT sensors on Cardano's eUTXO infrastructure. This differs to what already existed in Cardano. For example, Cardano Foundation and Scan Trust's solution for Baia's wine as the team will use full scale IIoT blockchain solutions and the pilot will be with an organic food producer in Tamilnadu. It will allow the team to collaborate with supply chain companies and projects within and outside ecosystem. From their whitepaper on the official website, their future vision is to create franchises, online stores and cloud kitchens to deliver customers food & groceries with full transparency. They intend to adopt B2B, B2C & D2C business models. The solution fits the challenge very well as it will add value by implementing impactful use cases to Cardano.

The basic concept presented in this proposal, providing trustlessness in the food supply chain using a blockchain traceability solution, is particularly relevant use case that is aligns well with in the Dapps, Products, and Integrations challenge.

The potential impact of a successful delivery for supply side (food producers) as well as demand side (consumers) could add trust and transparency in the market that also reduces complexity of rectifying errors, or more quickly recalling non-conforming products that are already distributed in the supply chain.

I agreed instead of strongly agreed with the basis for this proposal's impact, because Fetachain falls short of providing a clearly articulated commercial model within this proposal, only indicating that they will need to return in future rounds for funding to add features and tweak this product in MVP mode before commercial rollout.

This proposal intent to develop a solution for tracing and tracking food using industrial IoT sensors. It will enable a full transparency of the supply chain using the eUTXO accounting model of Cardano, bring benefits to the Indian agricultural market and other area if successfully deployed. This solution wel address the Challenge. But I could not see the evident for the difficulty problem in verifying the quality, source, and freshness of the product during its food supply chain infrastructure. I suggest the Author provide some reference links of statistic for more convince, such as: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0743016721002990. Generally, I appreciate the impactful of this proposal although it has some shortcomings.

The team has accurately identified a problem worth solving. Building a robust supply chain with food traceability & tracking solutions on an L1 like Cardano blockchain is a step in the right direction. Making it B2B compatible will offer some level of sustainability. That said I was hoping to see some data you got from the partnership with the organic food producer/partner in Tamilnadu. Accomplishing this will help local small businesses to scale. I do suggest you give Atala Prism a look it would also add an extra layer of credibility, it can be used by the food producers to request loans on other Dapps. The only concern I have that has taken a star away from this project is not adding to this catalyst proposal that you plan on doing an angel seed round, an ISPO and ICO on the catalyst proposal are important.

On-chain verifiable food traceability is a topic that has been discussed and theorized around for a while in the blockchain domain. The proposers aim to combine IoT devices and blockchain technology to provide transparent supply chains to benefit all parties. This could prove to be a huge use case in the future and it is certainly an area that Cardano should be a part of. Fetachains proposed solution will develop a POC to test this out on a smaller scale and the risk versus reward ratio is great since it is being implemented on a smaller scale at first. This proposal is highly impactful since it explores new use-cases for blockchain technology and it aligns well with the DApp challenge setting. They will receive 5 points in terms of impact as a result.

The industrial internet of things (IIoT) is expected to improve Industrial control to a new level. Process quality control and independent certification is an important use case for Cardano or blockchain in particular. There is a need for a large number of experiments in different areas to ensure success in this field with promising potential. The proposal is not referring to other similar proposals in Catalyst. There were few proposals with similar aims. As said earlier independent teams working on the same may be a great way to solve this critical supply chain quality control problem which has a substantial use case. The proposal is talking about developing a proof of concept for organic farmers in Tamil Nadu a state in India, for the Indian Agriculture sector in general. A more specific use case with the type of product that is shortlisted for proof of concept would have helped in getting a very clear picture of how the proposal would have proceeded.

Given experience and plan presented is likely that this proposal will be implemented successfully?

Commenter gravatar

To enable the community to confirm that they have the necessary IoT experience to finish this project, they have provided information on the team members as well as an online profile. This project's budget is in-depth, with information on technology included, but it isn't overly extensive given the project's complexity. They need to be more specific about the technical solution and the action plan. They mention the rollout of the testnet and mainnet in Q3, but they don't go into specifics about the work that will be done. With the information provided, it is quite likely that this project will be carried out successfully; nevertheless, more information regarding the technical solution was required.

The team could have elaborated more on the roadmap. It only specifies that the testnet will be done by mid Q3-2022 followed by the mainnet deployment late Q3-2022. while Q4 is reserved for solution's application to more food products. The budget breakdown is fair with the reasonal pay rate and it is a strong 3 team members who will execute the project. They will come back for future funding round and the community would definitely look out for the detailed action plans. They mentioned risk of this project is the challenges in deploying, maintaining and troubleshooting sensors (extra manpower needed) to maintain the sensors which is indeed a vital infrastructure for this project.

Fetachain team does clearly provide a budget breakdown that falls within a reasonable expectation for IIoT development. They have a good grasp on the required team and skills to implement this project, and provide full/transparent details of their team members including linkedin profiles on the projects website.

The reason why I did not strongly support this proposal is because the timetable as presented in the proposal lacks clear details on the technical challenges, and the roadmap is relatively basic and undeveloped. The only mention a testnet/mainnet deployment in Q3 2022, with compatibility/integration tweaks later in Q4 2022, and no additional details on workflow - other than comments about risk as it relates to the difficulty of deploying IIoT sensors in the field for this type of tracking.

The required budget is detailed into hourly salary and rational for all works of the proposal. It'd better if the proposer give more detailed plan. As an expert in IoT solution, I found it lacks of technology information such as: what kind of IoT devices tagged into food, what method in communication an transferring data,… and how to deploy the testnet and mainnet deployment.

About the team, they have more improvement than the last Fund in giving LinkedIn profiles of the whole team about the Cardano blockchain development and experience in IoT field to complete this proposal.

In generally, I think this proposal has high feasibility if it's deployed and controlled in correct way. Good luck.

Based on their past experience and knowledge in developing Dapps like Rarity.io I can see the team being able to develop and ship this project. However, the cost breakdown is not clear on a number of things like Hardware costs including IIoT sensors - $2000, it doesn't state how many will be bought, and also things like Business adoption incentives and business client acquisition - $1000 it isn't clear who will be getting the incentives. Is it the farmers, shopping malls or all of the above and how will the incentives be shared? Most of the off-chain code to achieve this is already open source rather than spending more time on bootstrapping from scratch you can save more by using some of the already available codes and doing modifications and spend acquiring IIoT sensors. Just my ¢2.

The proposers consist of a seasoned and experienced team that most probably sits on the knowledge required to implement the proposed project. Their claimed experience can be further verified through their linkedin profiles which makes them more credible. However, a big shortcoming in the proposal is the lack of a detailed plan. It is hard to assess the feasibility given the sparse nature of the proposal in its current state. A detailed plan should be provided and split up into phases or increments which clearly outline what will be done by whom. Additionally time estimates should be added to these tasks. An overall picture can be derived from the budget breakdown but it is not sufficient enough since the proposal lacks a clear timeline with milestones and objectives. This should be addressed in order to receive a great score in the future. Given the shortcomings of the proposal, it will receive a neutral rating of 3 points.

The proposal is from a very strong team with footprints in academics and industry. The team also has experience. The professional profiles of the complete team are available on the referenced website. The technical challenges that need to be overcome in the proof of concept is substantial and to build a practical system exceptional dedication and talent will be demanded of the team. The time frame proposed is optimistic and more detailed task lists with timelines would have helped in the formation of a clear picture of the project.

Does the proposal provides sufficient information to assess and audit progress and completion?

Commenter gravatar

The achievements and growth are thoughtfully considered and described. The indicators they offer for this budget demonstrate their familiarity with IoT sensors and their reasonable assessment of the project's success. The team has discovered a significant issue in the food business, where organic food is sold for a high price due to expensive centralized certification. They have also come up with the excellent idea of including public and community demos as one of the progress measures. Their Fetachain-IoT Cardano framework is thought to have a high effect and the potential to significantly alter the food market. The proposal can be audited in a specific way to determine its success and advancement.

Their define success as supply chain transparency and eliminate food insecurities with this solution. I would suggest the team to put the KPIs in term of the number of businesses adopting the solution, the quantity of IIoT data on-chained and a number of compatible food products and sensors. These metrics are quantitative and it should be displayed as such. They have not mentioned how they plan to report back to the community. It would be useful to indicate the channels they prefer to communicate to the community the progress of project. They have identified a lack of traceability infrastructure in the food chain and propose a very well thought out solution using IIoT to disrupt the food industry.

The auditability metrics and KPIs described by the Fetachain team are present, however I'm neutral on the capability of the community to audit the project based on what was presented.

The project aims to provide transparency in the food supply chain, in so far as the business model depends on delivery of that as a USP of the solution, however the team makes limited mention of their open source mentality as it relates to the development of that solution.

One thing that is mentioned on the website and whitepaper, and not mentioned in this proposal, is a tokenomics section - indicating the intention of the team to finance this project through the offering of a coin called $EATX.

Overall, the metrics for success are comprehensible, but it would have been helpful to have more information about how the team intends to monitor and measure the results of their project as they are relevant to the long term vision and impact of this project.

The provided KPIs are specific and easy for tracking but the team have no convincing communication strategy with the community so I suggest the proposer provide and item on the website or another channel for the community updating information and progress of the project. The success definition is well described, but something is still in long term for identify but it's could be ignored. In common, I suppose this proposal has good auditability for the community. Good luck!

The business model makes it straightforward in assessing the success or failure of the project any piece of the chain not working causes a coming-to-a-halt kind of scenario. The team has identified a few Metrics that the community can use to track the progress. KPIs like the number of B2B using the platform, and quantity and quality IIoT data on-chained. The number of IIoT sensors could also act as a good metrics-increase number of purchased IIoT sensors shows skin in the game and the supply chain is increasing. I'm also of the opinion that providing demos of what the solution looks like will help a long way.

The team has provided 5 relevant KPIs to measure the progress of the project and enable evaluation at the end of the cycle. However, in order for the community to properly evaluate and audit the proposal, some hard metrics should be attached to each metric. This will both enable the proposers to strive towards a concrete goal and it will enable easy evaluation for the community. The same can be said about the definition of success, ambitious and good goals are listed but they are soft in their nature, which makes them problematic to evaluate. Lastly, a public channel should be shared where regular updates about the progress would be shared. This could be in the form of blog posts, a website or a discord channel for example. The fundamentals for the auditing are present with good KPIs, but they should be refined as mentioned above, for now the score will be neutral in terms of auditability. 3 points.

The proposal is for 19000 USD. The cost breakdown tasks are very detailed. The development cost quoted is about 40USD per hour as the maximum. These are very reasonable rates and justified. The risk analysis including stakeholder identification in the proposal would have added value. The outcome of the project/ proof of concept expected is not quite explicit. The project will create a mobile app and a web app which will be used for B2B/B2C solutions. However, the proposal is quitting a very reasonable cost for an important area of Blockchain development hence I feel the project is reasonable in audibility.
