About PramaanGrid (प्रमाण-ग्रिड)
AI First Product Builder Hackathon 2026 by College.dev
The Core Civic Challenge
India generates 150,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste daily, yet 40% remains uncollected. Urban local bodies allocate hundreds of crores to private cleaning contractors, but have had zero reliable methods to verify whether garbage was truly cleared or if remote generic photos were re-uploaded for bogus billing.
The Proof-of-Clearance Protocol
PramaanGrid bridges the trust gap between citizens, contractors, and municipal authorities:
- Zero-barrier WhatsApp citizen ingestion with Gemini 2.5 Flash multimodal triage.
- FLUX.1 Clean Vision inpainting generating a hopeful "Vision of Tomorrow" for every report.
- Geodetic Haversine GPS distance auditing (maximum 35m tolerance).
- Gemini Vision Language Model structural landmark matching.
- Contractor escrow locks that keep municipal funds secure until on-site verification succeeds.
